Exploring Research (8th Edition)

I need the book for a class. It came in a nice time and it was in great condition.

This text explains concepts well for the most part and offers a lot of practical examples to solidify the concepts. However, there are several MAJOR errors throughout the book that could cause a lot of confusion. There are several instances in this book where value ranges are listed as 21.00 to 11.00 and they should actually read -1.0 to +1.0. This is a major oversight. There are a few other errors that create contradictory information, an example is on page 275 in the results section. Readers should beware of these errors and be sure to correct mistakes found while learning the topics. In addition, some terms are not explained very well or no actual definition is given. While discussing it, the author just gives an example and in some cases it is hard to generalize the term based on that example. A new version is set to come out this year and I hope these errors are corrected but I suggest that students scrutinize what they read and question things that don't make sense as the errors have tended to carry over from edition to edition.

I had to purchase this textbook for SFL 290 at BYU Provo. This text was a great resource guide for Research! It has helped me with many assignments this semester and I am sure it will continue to be a help through my entire academic career and beyond.

This book was in exactly the shape they said it was. It's in good shape and definitely worth the price, which was also reasonable.

For being about a topic that really makes my head spin (statistics and research) It was actually not bad. It helped me wrap my head around the topic, was easy to follow and gave good examples. Would recommend it for a more artistic person having to thread through a statistics class.

I was dreading taking a stats class. This has been the best book I have had during any of my research classes. Easy to read & understand. Funny at times! Salkind brings everyday examples to life in order to allow the student to easily understand the stats behind the topic.

This was just right for my class although very well used. I was able to resell it as well.

It is easy to understand and well organized.
