Description

An ideal companion to any core research methods text, The Methods Coach: Learning Through Practice helps students to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. The coaching program encourages students to not only understand research methods, but to do research methods for themselves. Lab exercises are organized into three parts-a 'tune-up', applications, and constructive feedback-to optimize students' ability to apply the theories, concepts, and techniques found in introductory research methods courses. With this hands-on, lab-based approach, The Methods Coach offers far more than conventional study guides.
