"The Psychologist as Detective" is a great book for any undergraduate research methods class.
The authors include several real-life examples to illustrate the material presented. The text itself is wonderfully written. Everything is very clear, but also very concise. Along with the examples (which are well used and helpful), the authors keep the subject readable by including a few witty remarks and observations. The text ranges from the simple steps of the scientific method to the construction of factorial designs and three-way ANOVAs. All of it is broken down to be accessible and interesting enough to keep a student's attention.
What's left is a simple, easy to understand guide on how the experimental method works in psychology.

Smith and Davis present a concise discusion of the major facets to research in the field of Psychology. It guides the readers through all stages of the experimental design, from conception through implementation and interpretation. The authors succeed where others fail in conveying their ideas in an untechnical yet methodologically sound manner. It is a more than adequate preparation for undergraduate psychology students.
