Title: Could have been better
Review: From the perspective of a student, this book is incredibly boring. Sure, it covers the basics of qualitative research, but that is only good if you can actually force yourself to continue reading. Many of the students in my class did not understand some of the concepts in the book because they weren't explained well, so when I became the T. A. for the class that utilized this text book, I thought writing out vocabulary words and definitions would be helpful for the students. This small thing made a world of a difference! My problem with this book is that it presents many concepts that are difficult to completely grasp for those who are new to qualitative research, but it does not come with a glossary! How are the authors going to make it a point to highlight certain important words and not define them?! Many of these words are hardly explained in the text and not easily found online (unless you trust wikipedia) so a glossary would have helped.
