5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, October 14, 2010
This review is from: Understanding Research: Becoming a Competent and Critical Consumer (Paperback)
I read this book while doing research for a book I am writing. It provides an excellent over of of research written in a way that will help a novice understand. I would recommend this book for anybody looking to get a handle on how to use, apply, and evaluate research -- college undergraduates as well as masters level students working on a thesis.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good foundational book on research papers, November 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Understanding Research: Becoming a Competent and Critical Consumer (Paperback)
This is a good book for obtaining a basis understanding of research papers. It starts with the basis concepts of a research article. What is research, what is the question, who answered the question, etc. Then proceeds into the core of introduction, method, results and discussion.
