It's very useful book of oversea student like me!
It's cost long time to write a essay or report useing foreign language,so find a good guide is a necessary step before you write any word. Please forgive me,keeping forgot to tell you I'm a internatinal student studying art in the U.K.

As a oversea student angle,'Research Methodology: A Step by Step Guide for Beginners' is a brilliant guide for me:
* easy understandable content,
* clear catalogue,
* useful points to tell me where I should go or what I can do,
especially when I confused how to do a quality research.

So I gave 4 stars to that book,wish can help some oversea student which not good at fast read and write in English like me.
