[Air-L] undergraduate research methods

[Peter Gloviczki]

Greetings,

In addition to the citations mentioned, these two might be helpful:

Berger, A. A. (2000). Media and communication research methods an
introduction to qualitative and quantitative approaches. Thousand
Oaks, Calif: SAGE.

Lindlof, T. R., & Taylor, B. C. (2002). Qualitative communication
research methods. Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Sage Publications.

I especially like Lindlof & Taylor, it is clear and thorough.

Best, Peter
