Sherri Jackson’s RESEARCH A MODULAR APPROACH combines a lively writing style with a novel approach to offer a refreshing alternative for the research methods course. Topics are treated in relatively compact units that, though logically sequenced, can be used in any order. The critical thinking theme that threads through the book engages the reader and asks them to continually evaluate evidence. This brief yet comprehensive book covers all the basic principles of research methods in a format that affords maximum flexibility in teaching and while encouraging active learning.Important Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
Wow was this a tough read. I would give it a 5 star rating for the content and the exhaustive coverage of the topic, and I would give it a 1 star rating for how interesting I found it. Best I could do is split the difference with a 3 star rating. With that said, if you are taking a research class or need to do formal research, this book is an outstanding resource.
