Educational Research: Fundamentals for the Consumer (6th Edition)

This was a very expensive book new, and the used price was almost as bad. By renting it, I was able to get a decent used copy for a decent price that has not be highlighted or written in. The only thing that is wrong with the book is that the spine has a gouge in it on the lower part, but I am still able to use the book with no problem. The book itself is for a class I am taking, and once this class is over, I will be very glad to be able to return the book because it is very dry, and the writing style is complicated, though I suppose that research methods and the statistics that go along with that are difficult subjects to write about. I can't imagine wanting to keep this book after the class is done, so I am really really glad that Amazon is now doing text book rentals!

I am so glad this was available to rent as I can tell that I won't need to keep this book after my class has ended. The information in it has been useful thus far (The course is Educational Research). The rental book arrived in the condition advertised and in good time. If you are taking a research course and need this book, I recommend rental through Amazon. It's a very easy process.

This book really helped with my class. It was pretty beat up when I got it, but overall I was able to use it like I would it I had purchased it to keep. Renting seems like a good way to go if they will take the beat up book back. I'll post if they won't.

Very simple and easy to read, which makes it a "fast" read. I used the book for a 6 week course and I believe it is not complicated text. It is nice to have for reference. Although, sometimes the examples overpower the idea of some terms and it can be a little confusing or frustrating if you are being tested on applicability with completely different concepts.

This is a technical book but it is written in a style to educate the uninformed as well as the graduate student. Plenty of graphs and examples for those who need visual representations. Learn how to conduct research, write reviews, and use the ERIC database quickly and effectively. APA format examples as well. A must for those who getting their AA or their PHD!

Arrived on time, typical text book, no complaints

I was in a pinch to obtain a copy of this text for a research methodology course I am taking. This is a great Kindle book; high quality print, easy to highlight and add notes. Love the automatic footnoting.

This textbook is very well organized and very well written for understanding of the students of this level. A lot of good information is clearly explained and you can use this book without supervision.

Great product.
