In the book "Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods Simplified" I attempt to acquaint the beginning researcher with the available options in the field. I sought to present the information in a simple way so as to demystify Research methods which are thought to be complex by most beginner researchers.
The basic aim of this book is to provide a simple flexible readership of technical issues in research in glossary format one at a time. Therefore subtopics are explained in their own stead to be picked and understood as and when necessary. The book is written principally for university students at masters, undergraduate, diploma and tertiary college level that haven't had prior encounter with structured research. It is hoped that they will find invaluable information for use in writing term papers, thesis, dissertations and academic reports. It is also a good read for anyone eager to know what research is all about as a leisure reader manual.
I have included a sample thesis for reference. The thesis was a student requirement for the award of a diploma in real estate management. Though not the best, and not being at the highest educational level of academia, the thesis is meant to illustrate at the lowest level and in the simplest layout possible, the steps a beginner ought to take to construct the best research project possible at the lowest end of learning. Building on this knowledge, I hope the reader will have acquired the basic understanding to inquire deeper into the field if necessary.
