Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
A companion volume to core research methods texts, The Methods Coach: Learning Through Practice helps students bridge the 'knowing-doing gap'. That is, while core texts help students understand research methods, the coaching program in this supplementary volume helps students do research methods. The three-part structure of each lab-a 'tune-up', a lab application, and constructive feedback-optimizes students' ability to apply and practise the theories, concepts, and techniques presented in introduction to research methods courses. As a result, The Methods Coach offers much more than conventional study guides, which instead tend to focus on learning comprehension via chapter summaries, review of major concepts, and sample test questions.
