This is a relatively good text. It provides a good overview of research methodology, but it does have problems. Specifically, it can be a little hard to follow at times. One of my main complaints is that the author uses really nice graphic organizers, but does not number them. It would be much easier to follow if the graphic organizers and the paragraphs in the text had matching numbers, letters, etc. Also, sometimes the author changes the order of the paragraphs. The graphic organizer will be listed one way, but the paragraphs will be listed another way. Overall, I like the text, but I think it could be even better with some additional editing. On the positive side, I do like the addition of the sidebars in this edition. They help significantly with understanding.

According to Pearson representative, there are different access codes provided with this book.
Please check with your professor which code(s) you need . I received the code for MyEducationLab website with the book, only to find out that this code does not work for the Research Navigator (actual website requested by my professor).
I am still trying to find out how this will be rectified…
