This book was so boring it made reading about inferential statistics and standard deviations a drag. (If you can imagine that.) It was so boring I fell asleep, had a weird pseudonightmare about failing my loved ones in some unspecified but terrible way, woke up with a start, and instead of being relieved that it was all a dream I wanted to fall back asleep so I wouldn't have to keep reading. It was so boring I gave it one star.

As far as research methods texts go, this one is short and basic and easy to understand. It's perfect for undergraduates who just need to know the fundamentals of scientific research methods and not every possible obscure research design.

One of the better research methods books I've read. I think I'll be using it for my class this Fall.
