'… Yan here applies pedagogical theory to present the requisite knowledge and skills through a 'research-based learning process.' He not only incorporates case studies, examples from various journals, and figures illustrating concepts and processes, but also has tested each chapter through engagement with students. His advice is applicable for graduate students in all disciplines.' M. Herr, Choice
