Books by Catherine Pope

Are you stuck in your PhD? Is progress imperceptible to the naked eye? You're feeling overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done and there's no clear path. The more you worry, the less work you get done; the less work that gets done, the more you worry: it's a vicious cycle. With the help of this practical book, you'll take a new approach to your thesis.I've coached thousands of PhD students through to the finish line. I also managed to complete my own PhD when it seemed vanishingly unlikely. Some people breeze through their PhD, knowing exactly what they're doing and never giving their supervisor a moment's worry. That probably isn't you. For most of us it's tough - that's why relatively few people get to call themselves Doctor. It's hard, but not impossible. I want to help make it possible for you.I'll help you understand why you're stuck and what you can do about it. By the end of the book, you'll have the clarity and confidence you need to finish your PhD. Together we'll create an action plan that's right for you. Each chapter includes activities and downloadable resources.You won't find anything about theory, methodologies, or epistemologies here. There are plenty of other books on how to write a PhD - this book is on how to finish it.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the range of approaches and methods available for synthesising qualitative and quantitative evidence and a detailed explanation of why this is important.
