This publication is essential for novices engaging in research. It explains the terminologies used in the research process, and summarises core points which is key for credible researchers.

Very user friendly text which allows students to gain an understanding of the initial concepts we discuss in classes. Have used the chapter on Research questions and aims as this appears to help students visualise what they are trying to achieve.
