Pretty solid resource. Covered most of what I needed for my advanced methods course. A few parts felt a little basic, but overall very helpful for solidifying core principles before exams.

Not what I expected at all. Very basic explanations that didn't help with my specific challenges in designing my independent study. Ended up just using my textbooks and lecture notes instead. Disappointing purchase.

Lifesaver! Seriously, this made a huge difference in how I approached my term paper. Everything clicked after going through it, and I feel so much more confident. Highly recommend for anyone feeling lost with their design.

It's okay. It provides a decent overview and some helpful tips, but I felt like some sections could have gone into more depth for someone at a graduate level. Useful as a supplementary resource, not a primary one for intensive study.

Absolutely invaluable. I've struggled with understanding complex research concepts for ages, and this broke it down into digestible, actionable steps. It helped me visualize the entire process, which was a game-changer for my thesis proposal.

Good foundation for anyone new to the subject. I found the practical examples particularly useful in illustrating the theoretical concepts. Wish there was a bit more on quantitative analysis design, but still a worthwhile investment.

Honestly, I was hoping for more. Some of the content felt recycled from other materials I already have, and it didn't really offer the 'comprehensive' insight I was looking for. A bit pricey for what it delivers.
