Reviews

Many BA and MA degree programmes do not provide adequate training and research supervisors may struggle to teach students all that is required at this level. In this timely and much-needed volume, the authors enable insight into both supervisees’ and supervisors’ experiences of the research process, with particular attention to the epistemological, methodological and emotional challenges related to becoming an early career researcher. * Louisa Buckingham * This book is a powerful reminder of the cognitive, emotional and social effort that thesis writing entails, and the transformative experience of those who succeed. Importantly, the chapters underscore the need to understand better – and support better – our students’ writing development over time. From both a teaching and research perspective, food for thought indeed. * Lisa McGrath, Sheffield Hallam University, UK *

Importantly, the chapters underscore the need to understand better – and support better – our students’ writing development over time. From both a teaching and research perspective, food for thought indeed. * Lisa McGrath, Sheffield Hallam University, UK * This book addresses a highly relevant but under-researched topic. It is hard to list all of the book‘s virtues: methodologically creative and reflective, a state-of-the-art literature review, illustrative interviews, coverage of many European countries and languages, suggestions for future research, and advice for thesis supervisors. A must-have for anyone involved in writing studies. * Otto Kruse, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland *
