This book is highly recommended for Undergraduate and Postgraduate students and even trainee clinical psychologists who need a quick revision of statistical concepts and experimental designs. My only regret was not purchasing this book during my early Undergraduate years, I have read and re-read countless books on the same phenomena, and despite the detail these books comprise of, they have never been able to impact on me the way this book has. Without sounding too much like a cliché’, if your only ever going to buy one statistical and research book, it has to be this one.
Unfortunately, the book covers too much that is not essential to the course. I will therefore recommend the book but cannot have it on the reading list without confusing my students.
It's a great supplement for students as they conduct individual group experiments.
This is an extremely well written step by step guide to experimental research.
This book (How to Design and Report Experimentss) introduces students comprehensively to designing and reporting experiments and if you are familiar with scientific research, you can also use it as a reference book. The logic is easy to follow and easy to understand. Unfortunately there are statements in Chapter 5 Inferential Statistics that puzzle me:

Fun to read, easy to understand. As my lessons focusses on the implementation of content lectured earlier, I refer students to these lectures, but this book is a great booster!
An easily accessible& entertaining text which covers key issues in relation to designing, executing and writing up experimental research.
Realized I do not have enough time to go through this book with my students.
It is very nicely written, but not that good to read for a whole course.
I will recommend it to the students that write their bachelor thesis under my supervision. For this purpose it fits perfectly. With time on their hand the students can dwell in the book. Most of the common questions are answered in there.
This is a very good book for students facing for the first time the task of designing and running their own experiments.
I found this book a good one to helping students start thinking how to design experiements starting from reaseach/ethics proposals
This book seems not to have been updated. We are still looking for an up-to-date hands-on book on designing experiments.
Well structured and understandable introduction in the design, statistical analysis, and reporting of psychological experiments. I can recommend the book for experimental seminars in psychology.
Amazing book, easy to understand. My students will love it.
This has been very well received by the students and they have found it very helpful for writing their class reports.
an easy-to-read and user friendly manual. Excellent for students.
a great book for undergraduate students

I was looking for more of a lab manual--rather than a full textbook on designing experiments
