 Research Writing December 23, 2008

This is a good tool for research writing; however, the newer edition has some newer tips for Internet-based research that isn't mentioned in-depth in this edition.

It's supposed to be a new item, but the book was wrinkled with a few wears on the binding.
Fantastic August 27, 2008

An absolute must for anyone who is getting started for the first time on writing a thesis or completing a major project. It breaks down the research process into manageable steps and explains them in plain language. It is targeted at the first time researcher but is also a valuable reference at later stages of the research and reporting writing processes. It has made researching my own project a whole less daunting.
Practical Research: Planning and Design May 15, 2008
Connie (North Carolina)
A great book for a graduate student like me. It helps you how to pick a topic, have some questions concerning a topic, and make them into a research that is in your words. It is an excellent book for a beginning researcher, guiding him or her step by step, through the entire research process with practical suggestions. It is a great book if you want to have a quality research in any discipline. Good luck.
