implementation of a thesis project and provides students in computer science and

information systems with all the advice they need. The reader-friendly text

A new chapter on Information-seeking and use and a subsection entitled Improve

your learning (and grade) have been added to strengthen the material on how to

information for supervisors and examiners, including guidelines on how to review

a thesis project.
