[Melissa Lee-Tammeus]

This book was the bane of my existence these last 3 months. As much as I hated it, I have to give it 4 stars as, without this book, I would have been completely lost in being able to explain anything about what I've been doing. This book lived by my side and what a great reference book for everything I needed in understanding the nuances of social science research. A necessary evil.

I don't know what class I had to use this book for or why I didn't return it. It might be easier to read the phone book. This book is suppose to help you write a massive research paper (as in PhD) which is why I had it on my required reading list.

There has to be something that is easier to read.
Print is small.

Awful textbook, in fact I sold this sucker back for $55.

[Dianna Heikkila]

Not the normal page turner, but informative. I certainly learned a lot, so glad this one is on the "read" shelf!

[Lucinda]

One of the most boring books I've ever had the opportunity to read for academia
