Although an excellent and interesting read, the book was not suitable for the module I teach on. Excellent read though!
Recommended resurce, and also shared with other faculty teaching stats and research methods.
The technical information was clearly presented. I appreciated the critical stance on social science.
It is a more user-friendly stats book compared to Weinbach & Grinnell. The use of illustrations and layout increase the user-friendliness of the textbook.
Seems straightforward and accessible. I appreciate the focus on diversity for the examples.
