Title: Look elsewhere for information
Review: The one thing the book does well... It starts at the most basic level of introduction to research and goes up through statistical forumlas.The problem is the information is sloppily put together. The author knows little or nothing about logic, and this, misuses it in ways that will damage the students ability to function in reasearch if they have no previous experience. There are also lots of nice charts, that you have to fill in yourself, making this feel like a paint-by-numbers rather than a textbook.The author also lumps interval and ration data sets together. While when using formulas they are interchangable the one sentence inclusion of the two together does not give justice to the very different applications of interval and ratio data. Once again, if you take a stats class after this, you will suffer from the learning.Highly NOT Recommended.
