Read the book twice!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am completing a masters in Social Work and for the purposes of school I took research in Social Work (second time I am taking research; the first time it was in college) and I read this book twice from cover to cover. It could be a bit dense at the time but hey, it is not a book about butterflies it is a book about research. I liked the book a lot because it clearly explains all the important terminology. I ended up with an A in the class.
