The third edition of the
Student Study Guide With IBM® SPSS® Workbook for Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications by Kathrynn A. Adams and Eva K. Mc Guire gives students even more opportunities to practice and apply their knowledge in statistics and research methods. Written by the authors of
Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications, the third edition of the study guide follows the third edition of the textbook for straightforward assigning and practice. New features include practice quizzes to give students both recognition and recall activities for better retention. Learning objectives and brief chapter summaries from the main text remind students of what they′ve learned and orient students toward the exercises. In-depth exercises encourage students to build on their knowledge, requiring students to think critically and actively engage with the material. These exercises have been condensed and focus on moving students through the learning objectives at a quick pace. At the end of most chapters, ‘Your Research’ sections encourage students to apply concepts to their own projects.
