Uh, super boring. I read this, but reading about research methods is akin to taking a literary sleeping pill. Interesting at times, but mostly super dry and boring. On one hand, it never hurts to know about the technical side of research, but on the other side, I just don't care about this type of stuff and am sure I'll forget everything I learned in a short time.
