I am a student, and I purchased it as a requirement for my physical therapy program. I tried to use it to supplement some questions I had on course material as well as clarification on statistical tests I encountered in research literature. This book covers only a handful of the statistical tests you will encounter, and the points espoused are masked in long, flat paragraphs of text. The index is useless in directing you to the actual concept you are interested in reading about (it kept pointing me to pages with long lists of defined vocabulary words, rather than the page the topic was covered in detail). I know an index is a strange thing to complain about, but I never appreciated a good index, until I tried navigating the one included in the back of this book.SUMMARY: The internet was much more helpful in serving the purposes I purchased the text for. I am a heavy textbook user and read for all of my physical therapy classes. This book is my least favorite. If "required" by your professor, I wouldn't bother---the internet is your friend. And to Dr. Jewell and publishers, please re-write the index--it is a disaster. Maybe you could use a bolder font on the pages worth viewing.
This book explained in detail what I had a hard time understanding from lecture. It is thorough all though can be dry reading at times. I going myself referring to it frequently when stuck in class.
Bought this for my spouse bc he works as a Physical Therapist and this really help him.. The book is just expensive but still okay..
Necessary for the class I am taking. Dry reading but a great tool for understanding research.
Very good!
Thank you. Book as described. Delivered in a timely manner.
As required for school, it met the need.
Very helpful for Class and good quality
