Great Book

Anyone who is doing reports or working on a thesis, this book is a great tool to have. I am currently working on my masters and having this book has given me great insight on literature writtings. I will be able to use it as a guide and teaching tool for my kids.

Text Overview

While the text is required for a course I am taking in Educational Research, I would say the text is a well organized, easy-to-read how-to book that covers the nuances of conducting educational research.

An excellent, clearly-written book

I think this book is a gem! It's clearly written in a step-by-step way that is extremely helpful in this course. I really appreciate the sample research proposals and the examples. This book helped me prepare for my own research project.

An excellent text

I have used this book for three years to instruct individuals in a masters degree program. The book is clear, easy to read, and easy to understand - quite a feat for a book about research and statistics! Most educators are intimidated by texts on educational research, but this book is readable and makes sense!
