New to this Edition:
- The use of the internet as a source of reference material and as a tool for data collection methods
- Greatly expanded coverage of writing the qualitatively based dissertation from methods to writing up the results (including the use of software packages for qualitative analysis)
- Detailed coverage of presenting the results, including recent challenges to null hypothesis significance testing
- Tables showing Web addresses (URLs) for quantitative and qualitative software as well as numerous other sources of information for the dissertation student
