Knowing you want to do some research and knowing where to start are two different things. This book sets out everything from how to choose a good question, to what tutors are looking for, to the difference between good and outstanding. The authors also feature plenty of real-life research projects to bring the nitty gritty of a researcher's work to life: avoiding bias, ethics, and data analysis are all discussed in depth. The authors describe what made each project good, or what needed more work.
