I love em all :-) I use the Writing Empirical Research Reports for my lower division research methods class as a required supplement and as a recommended one for my upper division labs. The Appendix is a great checklist of what should be in an empirical paper. I use it to help me grade.
I use the Writing Literature Reviews in my upper division cognitive courses where they have to write a term paper because it focuses only on that aspect and OOPS I just realized that I am not familiar with the last one you have. But the Pyrczak Publishing group has many very nice little books for a reasonable cost for desk copies that I use extensively in my teaching and for testing as well. I encourage more tipsters to check them out. I can't find a website but here's an address: Pyrczak Publishing P. O. Box 39731 Los Angeles, CA 90039 One of the few small publishing houses that *seems* to be thriving. Annette Quoting Nathalie Cote <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, TIPSters.
