Educational Research: Planning, Conducting, and Evaluating Quantitative and Qualitative Research, Enhanced Pearson eText with Loose-Leaf Version -- Access Card Package 

From Reviews of the Book: What is unique about this text is how thorough, yet concise it is. I have not seen that in many texts like this. . . . The clear and concise writing style . . . allows students to use cognitive resources where they are most needed--critiquing and conceptualizing research problems and studies. . . . The presentation of strategies, samples, and specific techniques is a great match for the tools-based approach to teaching research methods. This is great for helping students actually know how to DO research. --Tracey Stuckey-Mickell, Ohio State University The writing style is very clear. It is as engaging as this topic can be. . . . --Kathleen Gee, California State University, Sacramento Outstanding use of examples and visual aid features. --Maria D. Vasquez, Florida Atlantic University Definite strengths: organization, easy to read, accessible, great explanations, charts, steps. Chapters are of the perfect length, not too long, yet very informative. I could see my students liking the text. . . . It's very concise, yet has lots of information. --Anne Dahlman, Minnesota State University - Mankato
