"Providing expert advice from established scholars in the field of political science, this engaging companion book to Teaching Undergraduate Political Methodology imparts informative guidance on teaching research methods across the graduate curriculum. Written in a concise yet comprehensive style, it illustrates practical and conceptual advice, alongside more detailed chapters focussing on the different aspects of teaching political methodology. Each chapter draws on practised teaching methods covering the what, how and when for teaching political methodology with an in-depth look at systematic research methods. The book is split into four distinct sections for graduate research methods education: the approach, the foundations of research design, quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis. Chapters offer evidence-based advice grounded in the science of teaching and learning (SoTL) literature from experienced, award-winning and highly recognized instructors of political methodology. Teaching Graduate Political Methodology will be required reading for faculty wanting to establish excellent methods for challenging subjects within the fields of political science, public administration and public policies. It will also serve as a useful resource for instructors wishing to gain greater student engagement with their courses by utilising different methods"--

Arvustused

Graduate political methodology teaching requires taking students from consumers to producers of knowledge and these chapters offer excellent, short, practical, and helpful advice to support this mission. Whether it is writing a syllabus, suggestions for course content, or larger department conversations around building a graduate curriculum this book covers it. -- Lonna Atkeson, Florida State University, US Brown, Nordyke, and Thies have assembled a truly superb collection of experts teaching their craft. The very broad array of topics covered and the quality of contributions makes this book a must-use in the classroom. -- Douglas Gibler, University of Alabama, US
