Tror inte jag tidigare har lagt ner så mycket tid på en bok som på denna. Blev tillslut 50 sidor anteckningar.

Boken är väldigt läsvänlig, en person som har väldigt lite erfarenhet och kunskap inom ämnet kan lätt ta sig an den här. Den är även ganska repetitiv (på ett positivt sätt) i det att den ofta blickar tillbaka till viktiga begrepp och idéer i tidigare kapitel. Man påminns om vad som är viktigast och det skapar en tydlig röd tråd.

Tycker det är en väldigt passande bok att läsa när man ger sig in på en fortsättningskurs i metod och analys. Boken ger en väldigt omfattande och bred bild av ämnesområdet, samtidigt som den ibland kan djupdyka lite här och där (då det är relevant/krävs), allt på en begriplig nivå.

4.5/5

This book is interesting, challenging, repetitive, and repetitive. Honestly, the only thing I like about "redundancy" is the sound of it.

It did the job, I just hated every second of it. Do I even want a master's degree at this point? Not if I have to do this again.

Solid overview of research methods in psychology but lacks in engaging graphics for illustration purposes and the order of chapters doesn't always make sense as they in several places need to explain something that comes later in the book in order to describe whatever their present topic is.

Also, as an instructor, does not include much in the way of helpful materials to enhance integration of the book into class.

Everything a student needs conveying examples, and computer application formulas for understanding, and achieving complex research calculations.

Required for my doctoral class. It explained the concepts in a very clear, easy-to-understand way. I got everything I needed from it.

Thorough. Packed with a lot of great information.
I rented the online book but I'm thinking perhaps I should have bought it for future reference.
