Many students arrive at university with a limited understanding of many of the key words and phrases that we often take for granted. This text provides a useful reference handbook for students to refer to in order to address these small, but often key misunderstandings. -- Dr Jim Clack * drupal *
Very helpful indeed to help define concepts but not much of a good structure for students to find their way in the labyrint of qualitative research -- Dr Karin Hannes * drupal *
It is a great reference guide and does an excellent job of explaining the particulars of a given term, as well as including additional readings on the topic. -- Dr Kathryn De Medeiros * drupal *
Useful for students′ dissertations - the writers appear to have the same values as our team so this book is a great addition to the reading list -- Mrs Angela Hodgkins * drupal *
A useful ′dip-into′ type book for students working fairly independently at the start of their projects. I have made a few copies available. -- Ms Sally Beckwith * drupal *
