This is a great book for an undergraduate student population just getting into quantitative methods and STATA.
The writing is very clear and accessible, yet the statistical coverage is thorough enough for graduate students.
I LOVE how you use applied examples as I endeavor to do this every week for them and have found some great examples within this work!
Takes the approach we do that you have to start with good research methods, assumes no prior stat knowledge, focuses on the foundational basics that students 'already know' but don't really understand (this is a big strength of the book!), and teaches those basics in conjunction with Stata
The second chapter offers a comprehensive guide on presenting students' research papers. It includes concrete examples illustrating each section of a research paper, making it particularly beneficial for students unfamiliar with this type of writing.
