Welcome to the Companion Website for Research Methods: A Process of Inquiry, 5/e.

Some of the features in this site include:
Practice Quizzes
We have prepared two 10-12 item quizzes for each of the fifteen chapters to help you test your knowledge of the material. The tests are immediately scored for you, providing constructive feedback on your performance and what you need to study more. You have the option of having the results sent to you via email. The results can even be sent to your instructor if you like.
Flashcards
Flashcards are quick and fun ways to master the new terminology in a course like this.
Web Links
The Web is perhaps the largest library in the world, literally spread out across the entire world. We have identified nearly 200 links, keyed to specific topics in the text, that provide interesting and useful supplementary information.
Chapter Outlines
We have made a set of chapter outlines available to both faculty and students. These are provided as PowerPoint lectures in the section labeled Instructor Resources. They are also available online for those who do not have PowerPoint on their machine. These are available either graphically (attractive format and includes figures) or as text (just the text, but loads much faster).
New Material
The resources that make up the CD supplement were first developed for our web site. As we develop new resources for the text, we make them available on the web site immediately so that the text is always right up to date.
Errata
Even though we have made every effort to catch and correct errors before the text went into production, there are always a few errors that get past our eyes and the eyes of the production people. All known errors in the text, including minor errors, are included in our list. If you find an error, we would appreciate it if you would bring it to our attention by sending us an email message.
Instructor Resources
We have put together one of the most comprehensive set of instructor's resources of any research methods text. We describe those resources and how to obtain each of them in this section. Included in this resource list is a base set of PowerPoint lectures, which instructors can expand and modify to meet the needs of their course.
Textbook Evaluation and Feedback
This text has benefited over the years from thoughtful feedback from both students and faculty. We would like to encourage you to tell us what you think. We have included an automated evaluation form, which will provide us with the kind of information that will help shape the next edition.
Author Information
For those who might be interested in the background of the authors, we have included brief descriptions of ourselves and access to more extensive information.
