Customer Reviews

Great overview of experimental design

For a textbook, this is a very easy to read book that provides a complete overview of experimental design options, the rationale for using various methods and the benefits and drawbacks of each. An essential primer for anyone interested in research, evaluation or experimental design.

Great book

This is a great book for those who are willing to discover or improve their knowledge about experimental and quasi-experimental designs - it is an essential book, I'd say. It also helps a lot to understand research and science in general. Really helped me in my dissertation.

Excellent for doctoral students

I am a doctoral student in public health and recommend this book to my fellow doctoral students out there. It is a thorough and comprehensive text on research methods. I have gone through quite a few texts with similar titles and this stands out as the best.

a useful book for educational researchers

I had read this book in the Univerisity's library and I found that it would help in setting up an evaluational study of educational interventions. I found that it would be a reference book for an educational researcher, hence I bought it.

Must-have for anyone interested in expertimental design.

This book is comprehensive and incredibly useful. Anyone who is interested in designing or interpreting an experiment or a quasi-experiment in the social and behavioral sciences would benefit greatly by reading it.
