About this title

From the Back Cover:

From Reviews of the Book:

 

“What is unique about this text is how thorough, yet concise it is. I have not seen that in many texts like this. . . . The clear and concise writing style . . .  allows students to use cognitive resources where they are most needed—critiquing and conceptualizing research problems and studies. . . . The presentation of strategies, samples, and specific techniques is a great match for the tools-based approach to teaching research methods. This is great for helping students actually know how to DO research.”

    —Tracey Stuckey-Mickell, Ohio State University

 

“The writing style is very clear. It is as engaging as this topic can be. . . .”

    —Kathleen Gee, California State University, Sacramento

 

“Outstanding use of examples and visual aid features.”

    —Maria D. Vasquez, Florida Atlantic University

 

“Definite strengths:  organization, easy to read, accessible, great explanations, charts, steps. Chapters are of the perfect length, not too long, yet very informative.  I could see my students liking the text. . . . It’s very concise, yet has lots of information.”

    —Anne Dahlman, Minnesota State University - Mankato
