Working with Political Science Research Methods
Problems and Exercises

Fifth Edition


October 2019 | 160 pages | CQ Press
Practice makes perfect. This new, Fifth Edition of Working with Political Science Research Methods continues to support student learning by offering the perfect opportunity to practice each of the methods presented in the core text. Designed to be paired with the  Political Science Research Methods 9th edition chapter-for-chapter, the workbook breaks out each aspect of the research process into manageable parts and features new exercises and updated data sets. More than half of the book's exercises are new or updated and feature more international examples, greater focus on qualitative research methods, and directly correlates with the text's more condensed layout. A solutions manual with answers to the workbook is available to adopters.

“This workbook provides innovative exercises for students to practice applying the lessons of a standard research methods course to political science questions.  The activities are useful in class, as assignments, or as the basis for an exam, and can launch great discussions on how and why we do research in the field.  I highly recommend this text to all political science research methods instructors.”

“The textbook does a great job of translating theory into practice.  It is an essential supplement to the textbook that gives students hands-on opportunities to test their understanding of the concepts discussed in the book.”
