Super practical and easy to understand. Great guide for beginning political science graduate students who are preparing to choose a thesis topic. Helps you get your feet wet with SPSS and serves as an excellent reference guide once you begin using it on your own research. Great in conjunction with Pollock’s companion textbook.
