Reviews

The clarity in which the information is covered and the variety of ways that the information is presented is extremely impressive. For every concept, there is the text, figures, examples, and applications. -- Allyson Phillips I like the idea of some more comprehensive connections between what students learn in lab and class; I think the SPSS components in the text create that connectedness. -- Dana K. Donohue I believe this approach is much more effective, and I am so glad to see it! -- Hilary Campbell The book is extremely well written and easy to follow. -- Robyn Cooper The author did a great job on explaining each key concepts, and how to analyze data with SPSS is also clear. -- Yukiko Maeda Very well written and easy to follow for students. -- Joshua L. Karelitz
