Book excerpt: "Discovering the Scientist Within" offers an utterly unique approach to the research methods course. Rather than taking students through statistical methods one at a time, the authors provide a series of realistic and engaging case studies with each design-focused chapter presenting a single study start to finish. These chapters, each with fully integrated online activities and resources in LaunchPad Solo, ask students to consider a specific scenario, then work through the essential steps of the study: formulate a research question review the literature construct a data collection method consider ethics refinine the method gather data interpret statistical results report the results in APA style With this hands-on interactive format, students develop a better understanding of the way professional researchers work, and invaluable experience in the basic steps that comprise all studies."
