The Best Dissertation — Is a Finished Dissertation (or Thesis)
Barbara W. Cheshire, Ph.D.
A necessity for every graduate student, the purpose of this book is to help graduate students avoid
or solve predictable problems that prevent approximately 46% of all doctoral students from completing
their degrees. The author clearly and directly offers specific step-by-step guidelines and counseling —
with abundant cross-referencing — for how such students can successfully complete their degrees.
Part 1 offers tips for solving major problems that arise, such as writer’s block, dealing with advisors,
trying to be perfect, inadequate writing skills, inadequate research skills, defending ideas and style,
and setting priorities and goals. Part 2 is a step-by-step guide for writing each section of the entire
document, including down-to-earth counseling and explanation of the logic behind the rules for the conducting,
the writing, and the defense of scholarly research. Part 3 provides information about academic regalia,
etiquette concerning use of the new title, and encouragement to publish the research. Extremely useful
appendices include a usage guide for frequent graduate-level trouble spots, as well as a list of strong
verbs and transitional words and phrases for quick reference.

Systematic Desensitization - A Self-Guided Method for Reduction of Test Anxiety
Justin Lucian, FSC
Recent neurophysiological research indicates the effectiveness of learned control over one’s muscular
relaxation. Psychology journals continue to report clinical evidence for the successful elimination of
inappropriate fears in people. Students are people; they have test-related anxieties, exam-time worries. This
program is designed to bring about relaxation in the presence of the previously feared test situation.
Using standard systematic desensitation procedures, extinction of the unpleasant emotional reactions occurs
because the usual anxiety responses cannot take place when the student is experiencing more pleasant relaxation.
The student is directed to practice relaxation and counterconditioning with the program’s recordings. Self-guided exercises produce a personal anxiety-provoking experiences list from which specific fears are eliminated.

Spelling
Delpha Hurlburt
A detailed review of spelling, primarily through a phonetic approach, rather than a rule approach.
Students carefully identify each word they encounter for pronunciation and spelling, syllable by syllable. Understanding how sound and spelling correspond, students are then taught to spell unfamiliar words by
systematically applying their knowledge of sound as they analyze each word one syllable at a time. The
dictionary is emphasized as a tool to complete understanding of words, their meaning, their use, and spelling.
