Solid undergraduate text

This new edition is a solid undergraduate text that covers both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. It strength is in its accessibility, clarity, and structure, as it won't overwhelm the beginning Communication student. Each chapter has objectives and a summary and there are separate chapters outlining wrtiting the research document for both quantitative and qualitative research. Has good examples and sidebars. Suitable for a thesis or introduction to research methods class. Graduate studnets might find it overly simplistic, although it may be a useful refresher for them as well.
