Review :
Not easy to understand

I bought this book as a requirement for a grad school class and I'm not happy with it. It's very wordy and doesn't help much in understanding/solving math problems. Also, it uses a lot of graphs/tables and then references them in the text but the problem is that the text and the graph/table are on separate pages so you keep having to flip back and forth to see what she's talking about. I've read other explanations of a lot of her topics and find that it clicks much better when I'm reading explanations from other sources. I find myself re-reading what she's written multiple times without the concepts making too much sense. I wish her explanations were more concise so I wouldn't find myself zoning out while reading the wording commentary.

No answer key for practice questions

This book is fairly easy to understand. The only negative aspect about it is that there is no 'key' or answers to the practice questions at the end of the chapter. My professor emailed the publisher and is waiting for the answers to be sent to him. It is the 4th week of class, however, and my professor has not received the answer key.

Essentials of making your students' heads spin
This book is god awful when it comes to structure, variety, and explaining in a concise manner. Starting with structure, the book is very table and detail heavy. This makes for a frustrating combination because while details are typically appreciated especially in a statistics book, certain paragraphs will refer to tables that are sometimes a few pages over either because there is so much detail or so many damn tables. This involves flipping back and forth constantly between pages so you can figure out what the author is talking about and that makes studying this material absolutely tedious. As for variety, there is not much of a wide breadth of studies that make the book interesting. It deals with the Framington Heart Study heavily and little else. This may have its advantages insofar as its consistency keeps readers from getting confused but it makes for one of the most monotonous reads I have ever had in a textbook or any book for that matter. Finally, though I previously mentioned...
