This book and the groundbreaking study on which it is based is about making explicit to doctoral students the tacit "rules" for the assessment of the final of all final educational products-the dissertation. The purpose of defining performance expectations is to make them more transparent to graduate students while they are in the researching and writing phases, and thus to help them achieve higher levels of accomplishment. https://www.amazon.com/Making-Implicit-Explicit-Expectations-Dissertation/dp/1579221815/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2VJWRMLYHFEBS&keywords=9781579221812&qid=1681916692&sprefix=9780310291329%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1
