The professor is very knowledgeable about the content. This is an older version, and I beleive that there is a new version. However, I felt that there were some things missing.

1. This is not a college course. However, the professor uses Minitab. So to follow along with alot of the items that she is doing you need Minitab. Neither SPSS nor Excel have all of the things that Minitab did. Therefore i finally downloaded a trial, but that has limited time.

2. The data is not in a downloadable consumable format. So if you want to enter the data in the examples then you need to open up whatever statistics tool your using an enter it. While this is not overly difficult, it sometimes was tedious.

This material is not as easy as the first book, so be prepared that if your continuing your statistics journey, its been moved up a notch.

I wanted this for a reference book and it's okay, but not as user friendly as I would have liked.
