Rapid fire with a couple bad apples,
By
This review is from: Appleton and Lange Review of Microbiology and Immunology (Paperback)
The authors of this book seemed a bit sidetracked when composing the 1000+ questions contained within its 200+ pgs--perhaps they should have narrowed their scope and focused more on quality than quantity; that is, creating more CORRECT answers and valuable answer discussions, neither of which are present very consistently in this volume.
There are many good questions which help to solidify key concepts in micro/immuno/virology/mycology/parisitology, all in seperate sections, however there are also numerous misleading and/or bad questions which aid in discoloring the rest of this volume. A question may ask, for instance, which of these is "most correct"; the answer will be wrong, and the explanation will consist of a scant exlpanation of why three of the other answer choices were correct. Confusing and misleading. Otherwise it is a valuable resource, and if you know enough to know which questions are bad questions, it can be reviewed very quickly and to valuable effect.
