Summary: A Great Learning Tool
Comment: I just finished a Research Methods in Psychology class that used this text. Overall, I thought this book was excellent. All the topics discussed are well organized and explained with many helpful examples. The writing is clear and generally easy to understand. I struggled with a couple chapters but class discussions helped clear up what I didn't understand. Some of the students in my class complained that the reading could be a little dry at times and the chapters a little long. I don't necessarily agree with that. I would describe the chapters as thorough and to me, they were interesting. I think those who complained were just less motivated and wouldn't enjoy the subject matter no matter how it was presented.
One of the things I found most helpful was the fact that each chapter begins with a list of key points to be presented in the chapter. These were a great help in keeping focused during the reading. I think anyone who bothered to do them would also find the questions at the end of each chapter to be very helpful. I tried to answer them regurlarly when preparing for tests found that they thoroughly covered the important material. Those along with the publisher's website were my key to success in the class I took. The final chapters do a good job of explaining statistics needed to write a research report (although I think a class in statistics is needed to really understand everything). There is also a complete, annotated research report at the end of the book which I also found very helpful (more helpful than the sample report provided in the APA style manual).

Summary: Research Methods
Comment: This book was helpful in the class taken at a CT University.It was relatively easy to understand, that is, as easy as statisticsCAN be to understand. Most of the students had taken an introductorystats class a while back, so the examples were helpful. I will say that students get in a rut and do not end up reading as they should. This book was very helpful in understanding the lectures as long as the reading was done! ...
