December 01, 2007: The university chose this book and my instructor had to do a lot of supplemental work to make this book relevant to the coursework criteria. I spent a lot of time reviewing websites for help understanding key concepts. The test bank, which my instructor was required to use, contained many questions that the instructor conceeded was poorly worded and lead the students to the incorrect answer or left the student having to pick between two answers that could have been correct. All of my classmates and my instructor thought this book was poorly written.
