Each year, tens of thousands of students who are interested in politics go through a rite of passage: they take a course in research methods. Most of the standard books on research methods fail to highlight the most important concepts and questions. Many find the subject to be boring or confusing, and with good reason.
This approach not only dulls potential enjoyment of the course, but prevents students from mastering the skills they need to engage more directly and meaningfully with a wide variety of research.With wit and practical wisdom, Christopher Howard draws on more than a decade of experience teaching research methods to transform a typically dreary subject and teach budding political scientists the critical skills they need to read Instead, they brim with dry technical definitions and focus heavily on statistical analysis, slighting other valuable methods.
