vagaries of dealing with human subjects

The book is full of handy tips about how to conduct social work research. The biggest characteristic, or the hardest aspect, is that your subjects are human, as opposed to non-human animals. The vagaries of dealing with multiple instances of the human condition, and especially if some subjects have problems to begin with, are something to get experience in. There is a very short coverage of statistics. But since the entire book is short, this was unavoidable. The maths is elementary, and you'll probably need another more thorough text on it, if you're amassing serious amounts of numerical data.
