Beskrivning

Leading the thesis or dissertation process can be a challenging and rewarding experience. However, serving as a doctoral dissertation or master’s thesis Chair is often a role assumed with very little faculty development and a lot of guesswork. Many new (and yes, even experienced) Chairs rely on the secondhand advice of seasoned faculty or on their own lived experiences as graduate students (both good and bad). This can lead to confusion, frustration, and contentious relationships. Without a chairperson who is invested and who has a clear set of best practices, both the Chair and the student are left guessing as to the best course to proceed This book provides a clear set of best practices for the dissertation or thesis chairperson by providing hands-on tools, real-life illustrations, and practical advice for any faculty member guiding and coaching the student through the thesis or dissertation process.

Recensioner i media

Novice doctoral faculty members are often expected to chair dissertations with their experience as a doctoral student as their only knowledge of the process and its demands. It is an untenable position in which to place a new faculty colleague; one I know from my personal experience some twenty years ago. Drs. Oltman, Surface, and Keiser have performed a great service to the community of doctoral faculty, both novice and experienced, by writing this book and documenting the many, many factors that contribute to a positive or painful dissertation experience for both the chair and the student. It is rich in guidance from the early consideration a faculty member must give to the task of chairing a committee to the science and art of guiding both the student and dissertation committee toward a successful outcome. I will be reading it to refresh my outlook and function as a dissertation chair and will use it to assist in mentoring new doctoral faculty in the important work of the dissertation chair.
