Free eBooks Writing A Research Paper In Political Science: A Practical Guide To Inquiry, Structure, And Methods, 2nd Edition Available To Downloads
Even students capable of writing excellent essays still find their first major political science research paper an intimidating experience. Crafting the right research question, finding good sources, properly summarizing them, operationalizing concepts and designing good tests for their hypotheses, presenting and analyzing quantitative as well as qualitative data are all tough-going without a great deal of guidance and encouragement. This writing guide breaks down the research paper into its constituent parts and shows students what they need to do at each stage to successfully complete components until the paper is finished. Even writing an introduction, coming up with effective headings and titles, presenting a conclusion, and the important steps of editing and revising are covered with class-tested advice and know-how. In addition to using updated examples of student topics that pull from both American government and international relations, Baglione also includes examples of actual student writing to show readers how someone "just like them" accomplished tasks while writing their papers. Practical summaries, calendars, exercises, and a series of handy checklists make this a must-have supplement for any writing-intensive political science course.

I used this book when I was doing my undergrad work and it is an excellent reference guide, especially if you do a capstone or senior thesis. It's easy to understand and can provide you a framework to work off of. Needless to say I lent my copy to a friend who didn't return it, so when I decided to go to grad school I immediately purchased another copy. If you have problems with structuring your papers or articles, buy this book it will help you.
This is okay. Do yourself a favor. Just find a good book on writing a research paper and stick with it. There was nothing particularly special that gave me an edge on writing about Environmental Processes and Politics.
Made it very easy to understand how to write a research paper or my senior thesis. Easy to look up unknown terms that were explained very thoroughly. Definitely a must buy in the Political Science field.
Very good intro to writing a research paper in Political Science. Baglione explains the research process step by step in a simple and clear language. There are great samples in the book one can use for reference, as well as suggested calendars which are very helpful!
good reference guide for beginning college level writing in the humanities, but if you got decent grades in Eng. comp I, you can save your money
This book has saved my life and has helped me write many research papers. It is a great tool for brainstorming possible essay topics and also gives step by step instructions on how to start finding research and writing.
Exactly what I needed for my Government 352 class, Research Methods and Quantitative Analysis. Very useful. Just what I was looking for. Everything I need to know is in the book.
This is a great book. I strongly encourage anyone taking graduate level political science to purchase this book. The scenarios with the poli sci students is very helpful. A must have book.
