[ 1.0 stars ] "This textbook focuses on Statools: a worthless program which is not used by professionals in the field (why not use statistics in SPSS or Excel?. Trying to use the software is a battle and because no one uses it, you won't get any experience in using programs that you will actually need in policy analysis. Why professors choose this I have no idea. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 1.0 stars ] "I am an undergrad student taking Data analysis and this is the textbook our professor choosed. for someone who does not have experience in excell this book is difficult to follow. the book is useless without the access code and even with it, you have to purchase the free tutorial.

[ 1.0 stars ] "While the title of the book states that there is an online access code, there is not.You can purchase it from the publisher website for about $45. However, the Kindle version costs more than a new version of the physical text book, so I see no good reason to pay an additional $45 for the online content. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "I really liked this book! Mainly because when you compare it to other stats books this breaks everything down to a very elementary level but in a way that you can catch on but won't take too long getting the point. With that being said there were a few things I didn't like (why I didn't give it five stars). 1. The books references too much of the Palisades software. I know it's gre ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "This textbook is pretty good. It is laid out in a manor that is fairly easy to follow and one can read the chapters and try the exercises in Excel as they go and learn pretty well on their own. This book is a good companion to the course and unlike a lot of textbooks I'm actually using this one in my studies. ..." Courtesy by Amazon
