I am writing a dissertation and this was not very helpful. It basically said get ongoing, get going, keep going a nd told me all the reasons that I did not need to justify using qualitative research. It was a waste of money unless you needed a pep talk. Was of no use from a technical standpoint.

This book has been very helpful in determining where to start and steps to make for completing a qualitative research project. It offers suggestions of “how to” and provides application tips that make a sometimes seemingly overwhelming project manageable.

I found this book more helpful than any dissertation-writing manual, and will rely on it for future projects beyond the PhD. Wolcott’s honest and amusing writing style makes you feel like a supporter, and his advice is truly helpful. The book is a fantastic motivator as well, particularly during those frustrating stages of writing/revising. I highly urge this book to anyone sitting on a mound of qualitative data who needs a bit of companionship by the side of the way.
