"The authors did an excellent job of engaging students by being empathetic to their anxieties while taking a research design course. The authors also present a convincing case of the relevancies of research in daily life by showing how information was used or misused to affect our personal and professional decisions." ―Cherng-Jyh Yen, George Washington University

Review
―Wayne H. Slater, University of Maryland
“The authors achieve an authentic voice in their text. They explain concepts clearly and concisely, while providing appropriate examples to support their assertions. Finally, the authors engage the novice researcher (or consumer of research) with engaging ideas and prose . . . they consistently unpack complex, abstract concepts in a clear, lucid fashion.”
―Wayne H. Slater, University of Maryland
(Wayne H. Slater 2007-12-28)
“The book is perfect for introductory students and does not swim in its own self-importance. The language is top notch, the examples are helpful, and the graphic features (tables, figures) are uncomplicated and contain important information in an easy-to-understand format.”
―John A. Huss, Northern Kentucky University
(John A. Huss 2007-12-28)
"The simulations and activities provide valuable engaging experiences for a range of “school leaders.” They are well thought through and provide reflection on issues ranging from confidentiality to professional ethics."
―James E. Barr, Nicholls State University
(James E. Barr 2007-12-28)
“The Student Workbook and Simulated Problems is a valuable component that clearly differentiates this research textbook from others. I highly recommend this workbook as a valuable component to any research course, regardless of level. The book’s treatment of time-series designs is also valuable.”
―Alfred P. Rovai, Regent University (Alfred P. Rovai 2007-12-28)
