Practicing Social Research: Guided Activities, etc.

This is an invaluable experiential manual that supports the textbook by Babbie - The Practice of Social Research. it contains numerous questions and exercises that correspond to each of the chapters in the textbook. I have used this combination for years when teaching Research Methods at the university level.
