Recommended Books:

• A Cross Section of Educational Research
• Evaluating Research in Academic Journals
• Understanding Research Methods
• Doing a Literature Review
• Narrative Inquiry
• Critical Thinking – how to look at articles. I’m not sure that this links to the right book.

Suggestions for finishing:

• Print the requirements for writing at Andrews and put it in a binder.
• She picked the factors influencing by reading. She found 150 factors and narrowed them down to 8 in the survey.
• Notre Dame library will do a research survey and tell you which of your theorists are still current in their theory.
• DIET: Describe it, Interpret it, Evaluate it, Theme it. For qualitative research.
