An Applied Guide to Research Designs Reviews

This text is intellectually stimulating and challenges students to take a comprehensive approach to their understanding of research designs and concepts. I appreciate the high expectations that the authors have for their readers to fully understand the nature and depth of the research process. -- Rebekah Cole
I find this text to be especially clear in its approach, while the use of examples and sample exercises would be highly effective for practical, in-class learning. Additionally, the text would be an excellent resource as students put together their research designs, and it would likely work well alongside a more theoretical companion text. -- Jennifer E. Dalton
The research study examples provided in connection to each research design reflect an additional strength to this text. What I like about this text is that it contains a comprehensive view of designs, without bias regarding one paradigm being better than the other. -- Donna Schnorr
This is a very useful, practical, and well-devised textbook. -- Micheal Newell
