Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for suggested readings for an advanced undergraduate research methods class. The following were the books and articles suggested by members of the list. Those with an * indicate books that were suggested by multiple people. I particularly appreciate the suggestions for supplementary articles that could be used and the offers to share course outlines. I have no doubt my students will enjoy this class even more now thanks to your help!

Cheers~
