Good text for the mathematical end, not as good if you are self-teaching the content

By Raylene - January 8, 2013

I was required to use this book, but I chose to pair it with the Raudenbush & Bryk text while taking an applied HLM course. The book was thorough, although often unhelpful for someone who is in the process of designing their own study and preparing to conduct analyses. This book offered little help on data preparation, identifying problems with your data, and using software to conduct analyses. Not a bad book, but definitely needs to be used with a course where you have an instructor available to you.
