The lab manual is well thought out and contains appropriately related examples. My students would find these examples useful as practical applications. -- Michael Ray The activities are easy to follow and relatively short. I like the inclusion of suggestions for group work-it would be nice to be able to use these in class. I would definitely have the lab manual as a required companion. -- Courtney McManus
