Too advanced. May consider for a future advanced research methods course.
This is a great text that I hope to use in a more advanced research methods class.
I found this textbook to be good in terms of exposing the graph theoretic background required of this research domain but the book is lagging significantly in terms of application scope. There is a need to discuss a broader spectrum of applications of SNA.
This book, while well written, is quite heavy on mathematical formulas and not suitable for this class. The book uses well thought out case studies and presents a unique perspective on social networks.
It is a wonderful comprehensive book, but far beyond the level of my students' statistical abilities, besides, the focus was different from what I expected. We focus more on interpretation of statistical analysis than designing at this level. Thanks for the opportunity to review it.
