Über diesen Titel

Críticas

“The examples are engaging. The writing is not intimidating. The student will find this introduction to the research process to be welcoming and interesting. The greatest strength of this text is its accessibility to the student new to research. Professor Treadwell makes communication research an interesting, non-threatening subject. This book offers enough information to get them started and makes the field interesting and, more importantly, an area that students could see themselves participating in as professionals, rather than just suffering through for a semester.”

(Barbara S. Spies)

"Focusing on the types of research most practitioners will use in the workplace, Donald Treadwell makes continuous connections between research and its real world application. The book is written in language that is accessible to undergraduates and the information is clearly and simply presented.” (Berrin A. Beasley)

“I applaud the author’s goal of pro­viding a research textbook in a 'friendly' length and size that links research methods to various communication professions... I believe it will make a valuable contribution that is needed by faculty at smaller schools who are preparing students to enter the job market rather than graduate school.”

(J. Drew McGukin)

"This book presents research as something we do everyday. Rooting methods in the 'real world’ will help students grasp the information and then apply it to situations they find themselves in. (Jeff Shires)

Reseña del editor

Introducing Communication Research is an undergraduate text of a size, level, and style that will motivate and enthuse the increasing number of undergraduate students entering communication research. The text will highlight examples of research in real world settings so that students can see the relevance of the basic communication research course to their careers and perhaps, as graduates, keep the text on an office bookshelf. Written in an accessible tone, Introducing Communication Research provides an overview of the research process from start to finish covering both quantitative and qualitative methods, statistics, ethics, measurement, and more.
