My teacher taught some things better than the book's sometimes more complicated way of doing things, but the book was more clear and thorough about formulas and vocabulary. I learned a little better and was more clear about what was going on from the book. If I studied from the book before the class where she was introducing a section, I did much better. I'm confident enough after this to try an online class for Elementary Algebra.

The little disc symbol used in the book was misleading, though. I thought it would work the occasional problem that is marked with a disc on the CD-ROM disc, but it doesn't work that way. The video just works an example problem for the section. This made me open the disc packaging, deciding I wouldn't resell the textbook because I wanted that specific help, but it wasn't what was actually in there. I felt that was deceptive or at least unclear in a way that will hurt low-income students. [My edition is a spiral-bound edition specifically for my school, so the rather large spiral binding makes NOT tearing pages as you use it nearly impossible, anyway.] It's probably better to see a tutor than to open the disc, if you want to resell the book.

There were a lot of errors in the answer key for a textbook. They should check those.
