This text has been a lifesaver! Although the material is challenging, I have been continually impressed with my student’s ability to come away from this course with the ability to perform their own (small) data analysis project in the final week using what they learned. . . . Many start with zero knowledge or experience with research, and in a very short time period are able to get up to speed with the terminology, and to sift through all of the various ‘rules’ of data analysis (which measures of association, tests of significance, etc. to use based on their variables) like pros.
Was already adopted by the prior prof. It is a good book and I kept it adopted. It does need help with modernizing some phrases and data though -- esp in the lab assignments.
Very practical and student-friendly!
Uses SPSS. Provides good instructions, generally, but there continue to be the same errors edition after edition.
Good support for teaching SPSS
Easy to understand for beginners
