Reviews for Quantiative Research Methods for Commuinication: A Hands-On Approach


The follow reviews have come from a number of sources:

"The authors appear to be having a discussion with the reader and have truly been able to capture how students would likely process this information. They have created analogies and examples to create a sense of 'realness; in the material - application is not left up to the students' imaginations. They ask questions students are likely pondering as they read, and they do it in a humorous manner to draw them in, adding a level of comofrot to help students comprehend this difficult material. I love this book! It is written the way I teach. Why has it taken so long to get my hands on something so practical and useful?" - MARIAN L. HOUSER, Texas State University-San Marcos

"I was lost with the text assigned for my graduate Research Methods class. Thankfully, my university library had a copy of this text. The plain language explainations, examples, and models helped me ace the class." - Anonymous Reviewer Jas on Amazon.com

"Wrench, et. al is an excellent research methods guide for all later undergraduate and graduate students of communication. As an adult learner with moderate math anxiety, the text provides clear language and plenty of examples to build comprehension and understanding of terms and calculations. The CD-Rom that accompanies the text provides both sample data sets and chapter notes with formulas. This is invaluable. " - Anonymous Reviewer Oratory Student on Amazon.com
