Great for research September 13, 2008 I like the book in it's explanation and history of research. I would recommend this book to students and faculty because it is easy to understand.
Very boring and tedious to read June 30, 2008 I began my MSW research class with a great deal of interest in the subject, but this textbook dampened my interest quite rapidly. I do not feel that it is very well organized, and it is very tedious to pull out the main points. It's very wordy with alot of needless jargon. The definitions and vocabulary lack "common sense" and useful applicability. Visually speaking, it is a difficult read due to the way the text is organized and formatted. The concepts themselves are not difficult and can even be fun to learn, but without prior knowledge of some of these concepts, this book would have really turned me off.
knowledgeable Social Worker May 2, 2008 I like the book for being able to have practice test and the puzzle after every chapter
Good test February 16, 2008 This is a great text. Easy to understand, easy to read and laid out nicely. I would recommend this for instructors and students.
Just the main points, please! November 19, 2004 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I'm taking a research methods course right now and, unfortunately, this is the book that was assigned. The chapters are too long and the authors make things more complex by trying to include too many examples and unnecessary filler material. Research methods is boring anyway, but Rubin and Babbie make learning about it more boring and confusing by not getting straight to the point. I have a "quiz" next week and you don't know how tedious it is read through these chapters. I had to learn how to speed read in order to save time and find the important information.Thank goodness the book is at least organized.
