Books in Hand May 16, 2009
Posted by thinkphd in : RSH9101B , trackbackI have the texts for RSH9101B, which will officially start on June 1st and end on August 24th. Here are the titles:
Creswell, J. W. (2009). Research design: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches.
Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications. ISBN: 9781412965576
Zikmund, W. (2003). Business research methods. Mason,OH: Thomson/South-Western ISBN: 9780030350849
I did not want to take a chance on used books so I ordered new from Barnes & Noble. The Creswell text was $44.95 and the Zikmund text was $163.96, and shipping was free. I have purchased mostly used books up until now.
It’s daunting to think that I am truly at this point in my education. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to work on a PhD because of my life circumstances. It’s my birthday this month, so I suppose that beginning the research phase on my 50th birthday ought to be a celebration of my life. My family has been such an encouragement to me to continue this path. As a mother, I hope that my children can see the rewards of my efforts. I hope that one day, they will also choose to continue their education as far as possible.

I think it’s great that you’re working on it, even so late in life. Two of my favorite professors in graduate school earned their Ph.D.’s post-40, and I think my education really benefited from that.
This is bizarre, I’m taking and educational technology class and happened on your blog when trying to locate blogs to share. I am also an NCU student pursuing my PhD in Business. I am in DIS9007, and trust me, you will be using Zikmund for the duration of your time at NCU. I also got a dummies type book for advanced stats and have been using my stats book. I haven’t read enough of your blog to know what your degree is or anything, but had to say ‘Hello’ to a fellow NCU student, going through the hoops!
