Research Methods: Planning, Conducting, and Presenting Research

This brief, student-friendly text addresses the practical aspects of a one-semester research project, from generating ideas to handing in the paper at the end of the term. Author Ann Sloan Devlin carefully combines practical advice with justification from the literature, helping students learn that even practical aspects of the research process have a scientific justification based on research. By combining these practical aspects of the research process with a hands-on learning package, Devlin's text shows students how relevant research can be to their careers and lives.
