excellent summary of background
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2013Verified Purchase
I am doing my masters in research methods and found this book in the library, however, it proved so useful, I am looking into buying it. It is an excellent reference book, highlights some good questions.
It is divided into 5 parts (foundations; planning and preparation; quantitative data collection and analysis; qualitative data collection and analysis; communication with others) and 16 chapters. It is well written, easily digestable, and certainly helped me clarifying some concepts.
Only thing is that its a bit expensive, hence the 4 star rating only. Mind you, textbooks wont come cheap.
Certainly would recommend.
