Research Methods Book

I really liked this book, we used it for a research methods class. It's an easy read and has useful information!

A great down-to-earth introduction to the world of research methods

Whether you are just beginning a masters program or a PhD program, this book provides a great down-to-earth introduction into the world of research methods. The technical language of the material is delivered to the students in a way that is fun and understanding. I greatly enjoyed reading the text and it fully prepared me for my first ever research project.

Excellent Textbook

I really enjoyed reading this textbook. It gives me the whole picture from outside. If you are working on developing test or conducting an analysis or a research, this textbook is suitable for you. The language used is easy to comprehend. Although I have finished the course with University of Phoenix online that is associated with this textbook, I am still reading and reading this textbook. Really, it worths buying it.

The Best!

Regardless of what your research needs are, this books could be called "research for dummies" in its excellent and easy-to-follow explanations. Buy this book, even if your required text is something else - It's filled with examples and can be read like an adventure novel in bed WHILE being truly comprehended! I've taken statistics, research classes, etc. - I wished I had read this book along with my first class! There's nothing dry about this and 1000 words are too few to praise it adequately!

Impressive

One can read the pictures of a book to define the logic or knowledge in it. How? Look at the many different views. What scans through ones mind? The past. It did mine. Fifty dollars is just the beginning of an adventures enterance into the unknown. Have a great day! Norma
