This is a very good undergraduate research text. I use it in a Human Services class with criminal justice majors as well as Human Services majors and have had good results. I teach from this book in regular land based classes and online. It is a book that I reccomend students keep on their shelf - particularly if they are going to graduate school. The examples in the text are clear and the organization is easy to work with.

This book is very clear-cut and easy to read (which is a nice breath of fresh air b/c most of my readings in college are really dense). The author gives a lot of examples about the concepts that he talks about which makes it sooo much easier to remember and to be able to apply to your own research. I'm not usually a big fan of standardized textbooks such as these, but I have learned so much about the right and wrong way to do research and the controversies that would come about while conducting a research. I found the section on ethics to be particularly useful--for now on, every research project I do I can just flip to this chapter and run down the list of possible ethic problems that I could encounter and easily plan accordingly. Overall, great description and distinction between qualitative and quantitative research techniques...I am not a big math person, but this book gave me the confidence to try quantitative styles of research!

I had received this book last year for school. I did not have and still do not have any complaints

Book arrived in a timely fashion and in described/good shape. I would recommend this seller.

This book was delivered in a very timely manner. More importantly, the book was in great condition. I couldn't tell that is was 'used' at all. There was no ink, no highlighter marks, and the pages and cover were all crisp and clean.

I received my book in the time length that was expected. It is a used book but this was also expected. No sugar coating or lies here!!
