Companion website to accompany the Third Edition of Introduction to Social Research
I find this a rather laboured read with a fair bit of repetition, however; there are some excellent strategies in here and the book is well worth reading.
A great book, very clear and useful for students
The book is detailed and well written.
This book is for those who want to have the features and benefits of both of the main techniques in research set out for them in one straight-forward text book.
Clear accessible research book for both Access and undergraduate students on education degrees. Boxed text captures key information from the chapter.
a useful book to support student's in their learning about research design and processes
Engaging text written in an accessible style. The book includes informative diagrams which are simple and effective, appealing to different learning styles.
This is a great book which I have recommended to several students - at least one has bought it and agrees on its value. I have also asked our library to purchase it - although some hard copies are being bought, we would really like it to be available as an e-book for institutional use which I am told is currently not possible.
A good survey for beginning level students. Was looking for something that was more ind depth.
A really great research text that explains ideas clearly. Covers ideas in depth.
