Alright, it's time to wrap up this book now that my research class is over.

I found this book did a great job explaining research. Too bad I didn't need all the physiology information that went along with it.

Best part of this book--the test quizzes that went along with it!

Sorry, not sorry to be done with this book.

For a textbook, this was pretty well-written. The examples were good at explaining things, and it wasn't as dry as textbooks tend to be. But still, shoot me in the fucking face.
