This book takes a fresh approach to teaching about qualitative research by providing case studies of various student qualitative research experiences revealing the struggles, joys, discoveries, and surprises that often take place during the qualitative research process. By studying other student examples of research (including obstacles and how they were overcome) students can learn through the real-life experiences of other students. The book is divided into three parts.

The book also covers the nuts and bolts of qualitative research, enabling instructors to use this book as a stand alone text.

Prominent Themes and Lessons Learned

This book is a delight to read as a new researcher, it provides an excellent resource for guided reflection and indeed support for the challenges faced in undertaking a research project. This is the first research book that I have ever read cover-to-cover, with a delightful balance of insight, humour and learning from mistakes, with the right balance of pedagogy and academic methodology. A must read for anyone new to the field of research.

I really like this text. It covers important aspects of the student-mentor relationship that are often assumed or missed out.
