This text is a complete introduction to research methods in political science, covering all the topics typically included in a one semester undergraduate-level course. It concentrates on the basics of what a student needs to know how to do to be an effective consumer of scientific research and begin to conduct his or her own research projects. The approach of "learning by doing" is encouraged through numerous examples and exercises. The book is written in an informal style, with minimal use of technical jargon.
