I wouldn’t say that I read the book cover to cover, but for a class textbook in graduate school, I think it was very helpful for its intended purpose. I used it where I need it (where I needed brushing up in certain areas of statistics especially) – and I think this book is a good reference book. The indexes are great, and the workbook actually does a good job of clarifying certain aspects of research that I was unceratin on.

How to Design and Evaluate Research in Education with PowerWeb is a great tool… The book came in brand new condition along with the workbook and cd.

This is a good book for beginning researcher. It explains difficult concepts with simple to understand words. There are also samples that are very good guide for proposal writing.

This book was required for one of my grad classes and it came in A+ shape, however, I was shocked to see that it was an International Version. This was not stated anywhere in the description. Luckily it had the same content but I wish that would have been described.

There is no picture of the text because on the front it says it’s the international student version for use outside the US. Very misleading information on the site.
