Guided Activities for the Practice of Social Research

Summary: An interesting book....
Review: I had to take a class in college and everything was based on this book. I thought that the book was totally pointless. Some of the sentences were so long that by the time I finished reading it, I forgot what it was about. The chapters also all linked together and so if you missed a page, you were lost. I also think that the information was also very difficult to understand. The sentences were all jumbled together and I thought that anyone could write a book of this level. I understand that the topic of social research is a difficult thing, but this book seemed to only make it worse.

Summary: Practicing Social Research: Guided Activities, etc.
Review: This is an invaluable experiential manual that supports the textbook by Babbie - The Practice of Social Research. it contains numerous questions and exercises that correspond to each of the chapters in the textbook. I have used this combination for years when teaching Research Methods at the university level.
