<p>"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."</p> <p>-Tracey Stuckey-Mickell, Ohio State University</p> <p> </p> <p>"The writing style is very clear. It is as engaging as this topic can be. . . ."</p> <p>-Kathleen Gee, California State University, Sacramento</p> <p> </p> <p>"Outstanding use of examples and visual aid features."</p> <p>-Maria D. Vasquez, Florida Atlantic University</p> <p> </p> <p>"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."</p> <p>-Anne Dahlman, Minnesota State University - Mankato</p> <p></p>
