Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods: A Guidebook and Resource

Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods offers practical advice, with examples, on how to conduct qualitative research.  A hallmark feature is the inclusion of several complete qualitative studies conducted by the authors, along with their field notes.   Readers can see how the authors, in actual studies, dealt with the methodological issues presented in the first chapters of the book. Most professors of introductory undergraduate and graduate courses want their students to read examples of qualitative studies.  The inclusion of the studies in this text enables professors to assign other supplemental readings on specific methodologies they want to stress in their teaching.
