The book includes blank space for students to enter short pieces of writing such as reflections, examples, range of topics, and sample annotations to generate and review thought, and includes features such as self-assessment questions, working with your chair boxes, revision practices, and examples of students work. As a journal of thinking, it allows students to record their thoughts as they materialize into words, provides a safe place for practice and trial, and helps them locate in one place key pieces of writing foundational to their dissertation.
