"Very Helpful"

Information is presented in a clear and unfettered format. As a graduate student I found the book very helpful, especially, for locating databases. Students need more reference books like this.
Love the Book, Hate the Title
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I bought this book on the recommendation of a colleague. As a high school English teacher, I am always looking for concise and accessible research writing guides for my students. This book fits the bill. However, I object to the "Idiot's" moniker. I know it is a fabulously successful series, and I know the title is tongue-in-cheek, but as an educator, I don't feel comfortable recommending the book to my students. Perhaps I am being overly sensitive, but I don't want to communicate to my students in any way shape or form that I think they are anything but capable, intelligent young adults. For this reason, I haven't asked my students to buy the book. I have just added it to my personal reference shelf.
Plain and simple

I purchased this book AFTER completing my masters, and this book is a great tool that provides step-by-step information through conducting a research project. In addition, it would be a excellent companion tool for any research methods course. If you are a college student, this book is a "must have" for your personal collegiate reference library.
