This Book Helped Me Graduate!

My advisor took a medical leave of absence halfways through my master's thesis. While my university did give me a different advisor to finish my degree program, I found I was very lost when writing my thesis. This book was a lifesaver and helped me put together my entire thesis when I had very little guidance from my (second) advisor. Highly recommend to anyone in a graduate program or anyone that is trying to publish a research article.
