RESEARCH METHODS AND STATISTICS: A CRITICAL THINKING APPROACH, 5th Edition, successfully illustrates the integration between statistics and research methods by demonstrating the ways to use statistics in analyzing data collected during research. This combined book adopts an inviting narrative style that speaks directly to readers and draws them into the material, helping them overcome the initial apprehension they may feel at the prospect of learning both subject areas at once. Focusing on the logic of the process and the methodology aspect of research, Jackson incorporates a friendly critical-thinking approach and presents examples and exercises to which readers can relate.

Excellent book, as far as textbooks go.

It's a really informative book. It isn't boring either which is amazing since its a textbook. This book has really helped me understand a lot of different methods and terms that come from the Research Methods class. So I feel as if it's helped me gain a better understanding of the field thus far and I plan on keeping it even though I rented it. Mainly because its a really great resource and I also highlighted very well in it. I'm sure it'll be of great use in the future in my career

Well, this book was another complicated read for me. Statistics is not my best or favorite subject. However, the text did help me get through my program evaluation course.

Highlighting

Reviewed in the United States on 5 December 2022

The book itself is in good condition. But whoever owned this book before highlighted everything. It’s a little annoying. Okay a lot. But, I bought this book to make my life easier in my statistics/research methods class because the digital book I got with the class is not user friendly when you’re looking at something, have a question, and you want to look elsewhere in the book. I can’t put in a specific page to go to so I do a lot of clicking “next page.” This hardcover book will put an end to that. So, for $40+ my life will be easier and I will pass this class. Highlighting is annoying but in relation to my need for this book, it is nothing.
