'Doing a first research project can be intimidating. This offers a practical guide for the puzzled student. Written in an easy to read, conversational style, full of helpful examples, this will become the key book in the field'.
Completing Your Research Project is a comprehensive guide for social science students. It takes the reader through planning, the collection and analysis of data, presenting findings, writing up and submission and what examiners are looking for in their assessments. This is an authoritative book that students will find invaluable.
This is a really useful clearly written textbook which will provide guidance to my Level 7 students (MBA and Senior Leader Apprentices), many of whom have limited prior experience of undertaking research projects.
A good insight into social science research tools and project management. This book is competing in an area where a number of ket texts already exsist
I really appreceated this book because it presents the research process in a clear, well-structured and accessible way - ideal for students at the beginning of their academic journey. The practical reflection questions are especially useful in helping students start developing their own research ideas.
