 Good text and reference September 16, 2005

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.

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

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.
Great resource! September 15, 2009

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