This is perhaps the best measurements text out there right now. Dunn covers all the basics and adds historical perspectives. It would be hard to cover all the material that is in the book in one semester. However, it is organized such that you can pick whatever subjects you need to read about. It could also be used as a great reference text.

For many years I have taught a graduate/undergraduate pair of courses, EE5811 and EE 5821 in biomedical instrumentation and modeling. The central challenge each semester is an idependent student investigation from concept to method to outcomes. Peer reviewed papers are the principal information sources and this text has a remarkable sense for filling in the gaps for a wide range of engineering and life science curricula.

From a student perspective, this book is harder to read than a foreign language. It is full of equations that have no practical examples and you're stuck with the homework problems that you can't figure out. The examples given in the book do not correlate with the homework problems and I spend most of my time on the internet or sitting in my teacher's room trying to figure out what the book wants. It appears to be a book that assumes you remember everything that you ever learned in all of your classes. The book is too small and it seems that more information could have been included to help students better remember how to find certain values for a set of equations relating to a signal. If you can talk your teacher into excluding this book from the class and just teaching the concepts you'll be better off.
