Have used in previous class
Excellent resource. Students have been able to understand it.
It is an excellent book and easy to use. Students love it.
The title fulfill all the requirements to be used in the course by graduated students. The book has a very good balance between theory fundaments and field application. The wide variety of real life examples is definitely a great value. Also, the book is very well written, so its very easy to read and understand, something that students will appreciated without a doubt.
clear and concise - great examples... could use a few more student-facing materials and tentative syllabus...
Perfect for students working on a qualitative thesis!
Creswell and Poth provide an critical overview of the major methodological approaches to qualitative research. My Introduction to Qualitative Research students are able to easily grasp concepts that are complex. As such, I perceive the book provides a great foundation.
This is an update on a solid work on this topic. It provides a great overview of the five approaches listed and reviewed.
Clarity, context, approachability. It works.
This is the most comprehensive course text in qualitative research that I have come across and is written with the novice researcher in mind. Great for establishing a foundation in students minds on qualitative research methods.
