Have not taught this course recently as another instructor has taken this course over. Will forward text to her.
This book introduces the basics of statistics in a clear and good way. The structure is very logical and supports the step-by-step-learning process. However, it covers not all topics that are relevant for our curriculum and gives only a rough overview on statistical software. Since statistical calculations are nowadays done almost exlusively by Software, that aspect could have been emphasized more. \Other Feeback:+ Homework + Solutions+ Overviews and Summaries\
Great introduction to statistics which breaks down key concepts in a clear and concise way. Provides extra activities to be completed in seminars or tutorials.
It did not go into enough dept on the subject of regression analysis.
This textbook offers some effective examples, but not enough detail or explanation of concepts. It also has no connections to other primary sources or experts for definitions and explanations. It moves too quickly and is simply not appropriate for novices. Might work well as a supplementary text.
This book is excellent however, the faculty felt that it was to advanced for our undergrads
Well organized.Additional information for computer-based statistics.Emphasis on choosing the the most appropriate statistical test.Ample examples of applied statistics.
Decided on another text that has more of a research methods focus. Thanks!
This book may be too braod in its outlook for this course.
A comprehensive text that will support students when they are completing their research and dissertation modules.
Clear presentation of basic statistics with a research emphasis.
A book that is leaning more towards analysis of health research would work better for my students.
When individual graduate students require statistical analysis, then I require them to purchase this text. It is easy to understand and concepts have been explained well. Also, this text is helpful for students in selecting the appropriate statistical tools for their projects.
Need more sociological statistical methods including binary logistic regression.
coverage of topics, organization, balance of technical information and hands on application, price
This text, although a good one, does not differ significantly from the one that I am currently using.
Our current text from Sage \Stats for People Who (Think They) Hate Stats" will be used again for the fall semester, 2011. The Instructor for the course is currently satisfied with this text from Sage.
Looking for Blackboard-friendly book
Clear and concise with a focus on social sciences.
This book is fantastic. I teach geographers who need stats for their research and they always struggle with selecting the proper test, this book offers exactly that. Excellent textbook!
