Customer Reviews

very pleased with quality and service

this item was received well before the expected date, and in condition better than anticipated. Ordered as a gift.

Great approach

This book provides a very sound approach to research methods. It covers a lot of ground in depth but takes the difficulty of the material ( fro most undergraduate students) into account.

an excellent text with great web + cd support

I decided to adopt this text for my course as it is comprehensive, up-to-date, and includes a wealth of supplementary materials that are web-based, as well as available on the accompanying CD. Recommended highly for undergrad AND graduate students.

Good baseline book for those preparing for a dissertation

As a Ph.D. student that is about to start my dissertation I found this book extremely helpful in wading through the various research and analysis methods. Filled with examples (although principally focused on Psychology), the book has helped me plan my dissertation. A great reference book and in my opinion a must have for those who are about to start their dissertation.
