Description

This classic text, with a reputuation for accessibility and readability, has been revised and updated to make learning design concepts even easier. Roger E. Kirk shows how three simple experimental designs can be combined to form a variety of complex designs. He provides diagrams illustrating how subjects are assigned to treatments and treatment combinations. New terms are emphasized in boldface type, there are summaries of the advantages and disadvantages of each design, and real-life examples show how the designs are used.

Recent Product Reviews:

Generally, a very well written and understandable book. However, with it's depth and thoroughness it is more suited for academics and possibly doctoral students with an interest in methods than M.Sc. student. Unfortunately, for them it will likely not fit their level and their expectancies (e.g., they prefer to not have formulas or calculations).
Dr Sebastian Jentschke, Department of Psychosocial Science , Bergen University
I draw on this text as a key teaching resource, and reference for my students, because of the very thorough review of the variety of quantitative designs, and the best overview (in Chapter 1) that I've been able to find on the elements of a quantitative research study.
Dr Tami Moore, School Of Educational Studies, Oklahoma State University
One of the best in experimental design, but may be it's complicated for undergards
Mr Mahmoud Ismael, Faculty of Pharmacy, Assiut University
I think I hadn't properly realised the scope and depth of the book which was far more specialist than I require. I could not use this with my undergraduates and realise I need a more introductory text on the subject.
Dr Abbe Brady, School of Sport & Leisure, Gloucestershire Univ.
Still not decided.
Dr Bal Barot, Science, Lake Michigan Clg-Napier Ave
