How to get from a BSc (Merit) to an M.A (Distinction): Lessons I learnt from doing a Part Time Masters

This book provides you, a prospective or current masters student, the tools, tips and techniques to survive your masters journey. It includes topics like*Getting into the programme of your choice (and making sure it's your considered choice)*Squeezing out each minute of your day so that you can actually work, study and on some days, sleep*Impressing your lecturer, tutor, supervisor and course mates*Addressing your lecturer/tutor/supervisor*Maximising your supervisor's time with you*Starting to write without too much staring (or too much re-writing after)*Reading and writing more than you thought you ever could*Tools you need to learn to save you loads of time (and which you can avoid learning) *Keeping motivated and sane (even as everyone else goes mad)Intended for those who intend to do a masters in the arts or social sciences (and need to do a dissertation), this book is nonetheless useful for anyone who intends to take a long course (i.e. six months or more) and need some ideas how to cope with that. Those who can benefit include those taking other types of qualifications (e.g. Diploma, Bachelors) and those in other disciplines (e.g. Sciences). Just skip the parts which you don't need. I promise you will find something you can apply. Those who have done a masters will probably get a few laughs out of this (and a reminder not to embark on another course without thinking through clearly).The author should know. After completing her MA (and getting a distinction), she went on to take a professional certification and a Professional Diploma. And she is using many of the same tools, tips and techniques to stay sane. She needs to print the last tip and paste it everywhere to ensure that she doesn't put herself through the same nightmare too often.
