Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation: A Road Map from Beginning to End fills a gap in the qualitative research literature by addressing one of the key challenges facing doctoral students: writing a dissertation. Authors Linda Dale Bloomberg and Marie Volpe distill years of experience into a first-of-its-kind, highly practical guide for each and every chapter of the dissertation. Blending the conceptual, theoretical, and practical, the book guides students as they prepare for conversations with advisors and committee members, through the various milestones en route to transcript approval. The Third Edition expands the discussion on conceptual frameworks, includes more on rubrics for assessing doctoral students’ progress, and addresses the particular needs of online students in relation to advisement and peer support.
