So odd that I really liked a stats/research design textbook but I did??? I thought this textbook was especially strong as it emphasized the sociocultural/political/social justice situation of counseling research and was particularly insightful in exploring how different types of research are received by society

Read it for my G685: Research Design class. It’s a great resource that I plan to buy and keep on my shelf for the future.

informative

Though informative, I found this textbook difficult to follow without an in-person professor available to answer questions about the research process.

Kerlinger’s MAXMINCON all the way

[Stella · Rating 2 out of 5]

I probably shouldn't rate this book since I despise it, and most likely for no other reason than I found the topic overwhelming and exhausting. However, I'm going to go ahead and rate it a 2. Good riddance, Research Design!

Nope. Not useful and even the professor said it was useless after she heard how much it costs. Don't bother.
