A very useful text which clearly explains the principles of research methodology.
This is a very useful text for masters and doctoral level students rather than degree level students. It is clearly structured and the narrative style of writing helps to engage the reader in the complexities of theoretical and methodological issues. It is a return to again and again kind of resource.
A good supplementary text for research students, to ensure a good understanding of the methodologies used in their research programmes. I like the two levels of reading list - basic and advanced, providing guidance to a range of readers.
University committee decided on a different text.
A wonderful and inspirational guide to Social Science research design that never patronises or terrifies the beginning social scientist. Thank you!
Clear explanation of the key principles of research methods in social science.
This is an excellent new book which engages with theoretical and methodological issues and provides a clear guide for research practitioners in ways that many such books fail to do. It is clear and accessible and does not shy away from dealing with complex issues in a practical manner. It will be of immense value to Masters students and doctoral students alike.
This was a very useful book for first year students ont the level 8 course and it describes reserach design in an assessible easy to grasp way.
The author of this book writes in a clear and concise way. Making distinct terminology used within research methodology understandable to students or researchers at all levels. The book also helpfully guides the reader through each stage of the research process from choosing the most appropriate design, data collection and on to interpreting data. It also includes a number of useful exercises, that help the reader to consider appropriate methods to use in real research situations.
An insightful text that supports graduate researchers to gain a greater depth of understanding and application of the research methodologies discussed.
Probably one of the best available texts that combines an introduction to research methods with a presentation of several research designs. Highly recommended book to anybody willing to conduct a research in social sciences.
A good book on a central subject
Easy to read undertstandble pricnicples of research methodology which are subject transferrable
A well written, helpful text for both undergraduates and postgraduates.
This book is more advanced than I had hoped for
Research design has been the main issue worrying first time researchers especially those doing writing a dissertation for the first time. This book answers most of your pertinent questions and gives you the step by step methods to design and conduct your research.
Too advanced for course as currently offered. Would be excellent for research design course prior to dissertation.
Friendly and no-nonsense approach to methodology, I think student will really benefit from it.
I have found this book not compatible with the aims of my comparative public policy class.
