This book will steer students into a position where they can develop a good dissertation by mixing strengths in practical skills with more theoretical tools. Each chapter of the text provides a commentary on what kind of information should be in each chapter of a dissertation. This is supported by a variety of in-depth examples, and draws on research methods used in other disciplines, applying them to the built environment. In particular, the book focuses on data collection, data analysis and the concepts of reliability and validity, in the context of researching and writing a dissertation, to enable students to be more innovative and rigorous in their work.
