Something akin to Cliff's Notes; you should have an understanding of research. It's a good review and worksheets help drill concepts.

Understanding Research Methods: An Overview of the Essentials This book is easy to ready. The topics are will thought out and placed. The wonderful examples and the topic questions add to the usefulness of the book. The writer took what could be a complicated subject and broke it into simple pieces. It's a great way to start learning about research methods. In fact the book can be used by beginners or for by more advanced persons who just need a quick review. However an advanced person may need more than this book can offer.

Exactly what it claims to be
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I am a master's student taking a course in research methods, and this was the first book of the semester. If you want an in-depth examination of research methods, no, this is not what you're looking for. But it did a great job of kicking off this course, which is designed for administrators who will more often be consumers of research than in-depth researchers themselves.It says it is "An Overview of the Essentials," and it is just that. It is broken down into one-page topics that are written on a good level for those of us who haven't had a strong math/statistics background. Each topic is followed by a page of discussion questions that make it easy to make sure the concepts are grasped before moving on. It's in almost a workbook format, and I would recommend this as a self-guided study tool to any professional faced with the need to deal with these topics in the line of work.
