| Publisher Description: This book attempts to stimulate interest in and to improve the usefulness of the introductory research course or research training workshop by focusing the material on the needs and interests of the neophyte researcher. The book employs a conversational tone, presents the content in clear and succinct language, integrates practical statistical applications where appropriate, provides end-of-chapter exercises for students, and includes a variety of research aids such as a checklist for evaluating a research report, a format of the proposal for a research project, examples of individual and community case study outlines, and outlines for various types of research projects (statistical and non-statistical). The sixth edition reflects revisions based on the most recent student feedback in a refinement and updating of several chapters. |
