Book is an excellent introduction to research design for qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods designs. It explains all the components of a research design and walks you through each one, inclding the literature review, research question and hypotheses. Also, the first chapter goes through the different theoretical perspectives from which reseach proceeds, so you can understand the different paradigms. It also has lots of models, examples and exercises to work through. I used this book for a research proposal, and it guided me through the whole thing. The proposal was well accepted. So, I definately recommend this for any student to learn about research or anyone interested in putting together a good proposal, or an instructor who wants a good core text.

I am in the process of writing my dissertation and I have found this book to be very practical, easy to apply and understandable. I wish this would have been available during some of my masters work and required instead of some of the texts that I had to wade through.

This book was made for what I needed. It has a great review of the research process, it is practical, clear, very didactic. Excelent, excelent!

Text was recommended by graduate school professor. It is fairly succinct and a good resource. Not terribly difficult to get through it.
