Dear UOL student, Everybody knows this textbook, it’s an essential reading for Statistics 1 & 2. We checked reviews for this textbook on Amazon UK to see what students say about it. We have listed some of these reviews below. Steven Huang: 29-Apr-2019 Book is full of cryptic explanations and example problems that do nothing to clarify the mechanics of the concepts at work. Tedious and difficult to understand...  Daniel R: 19-Oct-2018 This textbook is terrible. First week of a online stat class and I'm already pulling my hair out. Book will not teach you anything, it is terrible written. Had to resort to google to understand even week one concepts........ good luck, if you are like me and you have no choice but to buy this book.  BillyF: 9-Oct-2017 Very bad, avoid if possible.  Does not explain thoroughly, skips steps that are explained in earlier chapters and does not reference whats being skipped Kvrk2000s: 17-Feb-2015 If you can avoid this book, do it at all costs. This book is a disgrace to the subject it purports to teach. Giving examples like "you can apply this particular concept in situations X, Y, Z" is neither a proof nor an explanation.  Steve: 3-Feb-2015 This book is not good at all. The authors should be ashamed of this effort. The content coverage methodology is illogical and the explanations are simply bad. I have an M.S. in a related field....if I didn't already know the information supposedly covered in this text I would be lost.  Philip: 4-Jan-2014 If you can ask your teacher to change books do it. This book is a s*** show of bad examples and terribly confusing examples that feature no numbers to prove a concept and it does not help that the class itself is hard to grasp.  TAC: 15-Oct-2014 Horribly written textbook. As others have mentioned, the examples they use, to help with exercises, are of not help. If you can, avoid. I've had to resort to googling and finding better examples online to supplement my studying.  Patrick - April 7, 2014 This book is probably the worst textbook I have ever used. The examples in each section barely help with the exercises. I would recommend just using the internet to learn statistics. What to make of these reviews It's clear that there are students who have difficulties with this book, and you need to remember this is an essential textbook for Statistics 1 and 2. The reason why these reviews are important is because they will help you understand why LSE professors advise students to make sure they have access to both essential and further reading textbooks. No single textbook is perfect in explaining concepts, including essential textbooks. You need further reading textbooks, so that if essential textbook does not explain a concept clearly, you can study the same concept from a further reading textbook. Unfortunately, most students use essential textbooks and skip further reading textbooks that ends up limiting their grades. See the advice from LSE professors against this practice here Get better grades this year Skipping further reading textbooks limits the grades you could achieve. Your grades could get better if you had access to all recommended textbooks, than if you used essential textbooks only.
