Ok so for a book I was assigned, I very much enjoyed this. The authors wrote simply enough, provided quality examples, and I actually looked forward to the reading assignments (because I felt like I understood what was being said rather than having to wade through jargon). If you are stuck reading about Mixed Methods Research, I do hope your prof selects this for you.
