Recent Product Reviews:

“A long time ago, I participated in one of Dr. Creswell’s workshops on mixed methods research.... I am still learning from Dr. Creswell. I appreciate how he takes complex topics and makes them accessible to everyone. But I must caution my students that Dr. Creswell’s easygoing cadence and elegant descriptions sometimes mask the depth of the material. This reminds me of why he is such a highly respected researcher and teacher.”
Cassandra M. Johnson, Texas State University
“I always have enjoyed using Creswell's books (as a student and as an instructor) because the writing is straightforward.”
C. Aujean Lee, University of Oklahoma
“This book is based around dissertation chapters, and that's why I love it using in my class. Practical, concise, and to the point!”
Krishna Bista, Morgan State University
“This book is easy to use. The information and additional charts are also helpful.”
Bret D. Cormier, Southeast Missouri State University
