Customer Reviews

Recommended for research methods

I work for the GAO. This book was recommended to me as a reference by one of our Applied Research Methods guys. It's been a good reference for identifying criteria in program evaluation.

A Heaven sent resourse

I have found Sproull's book to be of great help in understanding and following the steps in the research process. I use it as a reference against other manuals of the social science research nature. I recommend this book to everyone who does reseach, of any nature, or who is studying the research process.

A classic guide to research

A classic guide to research, which I've found useful for both work and graduate school. For those of us who like our information neatly and logically ordered in tables and flow-charts, this book entirely fits the bill. Comprehensive and, given the subject matter, quite accessible.
