“I will adopt the book for both classroom and online teaching.”

“This book is a contribution to Qualitative Research. The content is similar to other texts, the writing and approach to delivery of QR is a bit different. The chapter on Social Media is a departure and makes the text attractive...”

Not quite suitable for the curriculum targeted in the course. There are other textbooks that are more manageable for the students enrolled in the course.
