Great overview of mixed methods research. I am using it to facilitate my course in mixed methods in Spring 2021.
This book is a great resources, but requires a moderate level of comfort with both quantitative and qualitative methods upon reading. For readers that have at least an introductory level of these prerequisites, this book is a valuable tool for constructing, implementing, and analysing high-quality mixed methods research. As a researcher, I will use this book to guide myself in best practices as I develop my mixed methodology skills, but I am not confident using this in an introductory course where students may not have concrete knowledge of qual. and quan. basics. If able to offer a course holding prerequisites for both methodologies, I would use this book in a heartbeat and recommend it to others in the same situation.
