Customer Reviews

Graduate school text

I needed this text my first semester in graduate school. It is very helpful showing the students how best to evalute the research that is presented in this field. The text goes through each part of a journal article, telling you about what should be in each, and gives lots of examples. The text goes through all the ways that research can be evaluated. When you are finished with this text you feel very capable of reading and understanding the research of the field.

Technical writing

This book is excellent for technical writing. It was required for my research methods course and I am so happy I pruchased it. If you are looking to publish any reseach that you have conducted this will tell you exactly what you need to have on paper to make it into a journal.

Great reference manual and text!

This was one of my very first books in graduate school and it was the key to understanding all of the literature I'll ever need to read. This text fully explains how to break down highly technical research into easily understandable and useful material. Now I feel confident in picking up any piece of research and knowing whether it is a valid and reliable source of information. I can also apply the same methods to testing materials as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by research.
