Customer Reviews

Great resource!

This book was required for a graduate-level statistics course. It is readable and helpful. I highly recommend it.

Great book!

I got this book for a graduate research class and it's great! It has an easy to understand language and the summary of important terms at the end of each chapter makes it easy to review. It is also a not-so-big book.

Excellent

Just what I needed for my master's course, and it was less expensive than the university bookstore!

Valuable Research Tool!

This is an excellent book. It makes studying research very easy to follow and understand. Great resource book! A must-have for any research course on any level (graduate or undergraduate).

Good text and reference

The book begins at a very elementary level and progresses systematically through topics that are more complex, providing the reader with a good understanding of the principles and practices of research and with tools for analyzing the quality of research. I'm sure I'll be referring to this well-written book for many years to come.
