Volume II
How to Find a Good Idea...and Do Something With it

Is your graduation date being delayed because up to now you've been unable to come up with a workable idea for your dissertation or thesis? Have you become de-motivated by reading articles where it appears someone has already covered an approach similar to the one you were thinking of? Do you consider yourself to be not particularly creative, and therefore not an "ideas person?" Then read on and let us help you discover ways to foster new ideas.
