`I do not believe that I have ever seen a work of this kind that so thoroughly and so carefully examines the important consideration of working with the student's advisor, relationships with the student's supervisory committee, and the oral defense. Students using this text will certainly will applaud this work' - Professor M Scott Norton, Arizona State University
