I've only read through chapter 1 so far, but I just have to say that Turgeon goes overboard on redundant information. I always practically rewrite my required texts in the form of notes, and this usually entails picking out key points and allowing the context of each point to brew as I read. This time around it has entailed eliminating reiterated key points from my working notes and reorganizing the way the information has been presented. I feel as if the information could have been presented with more brevity with a more logical flow.UPDATE: I have to increase my original rating by 1 star. While the first chapter did come across as jumbled as it attempted to introduce readers to the many organizations that overlook lab safety, quality control, quality assurance, and professionalism, this is not representative of later chapters which get more into theory and lab techniques. Overall, I am satisfied with what I have learned later in my course using this text.
I have found so many typo's, mislabeling of figures, and--once--incorrect information (description of the chloride shift backwards). This textbook has taken on a difficult job, trying to describe the background and procedures to a myriad of lab procedures. It would be good if it had an editor correct all the mistakes.
Very concise yet informative text. Good for references. Just the book needed for class at a cheaper price!
A good book for a class that was taken.
A great deal of very long chapters. The writing is dry and difficult to get through. However, the information and techniques are really good.
helpful for mls class, very good book! very interesting and knowledgable!
I had to buy this book for the MLT program that I am currently in. I haven't really had to reference it that much at the moment, but I'm sure as I get further into my program, I will need to use it. Overall, it's easy to read.
I used this book for an introductory to CLS class and I found it way too difficult to pre-med tech students to follow. Additionally, if I were to use this book IN the CLS program, I wouldn't know what class to use it for as it isn't deep enough in any one subject. This might be a good overall reference book, but not useful in the classroom for our needs.
