Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-23 00:00:00 Linda Rosewood LeCompte and Preissle present a comprehensive discussion of qualitative and ethnographic research in education, including the origins, history, and evolution of ethnographic research. The authors suggest all qualitative research, including ethnography, uses both selection processes, defining what kinds of people and how many of them can be studied, and sampling, selecting a smaller subset form the original population to assure representativeness, to generalize from a group of key informants to the large population, or to reduce the size of the study group.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-04-23 00:00:00 Cari Wolk I can honestly say that I have a better understanding of statistics after reading this textbook. But Chapter 10: Analysis of Variance could use a serious rewrite. What do sentences like "The mean squares are found by dividing the sum of squares by the appropriate degrees of freedom" even mean??? Some things only make sense as equations.
