Review
"I think the text succeeds in presenting basic statistics simply. . . I liked the transition from one statistical concept to the next. The author gives some nice advice, for example, on how to keep track on z-scores on the positive and the negative side of the mean for determining percentiles. The author shows experience in teaching the concepts and is usually aware where students will have a problem."
"The text is really quite well written. It shows awareness of the interaction between statistical methods and research methods. Lets the students know of material and is usually consistent on the depth. It was good to use the same data with increasingly more complex procedures. "
"There is a good balance between getting the concept across and not dwelling on too many intricacies."
"I chuckled at some of the exercises and would like to have my own students work through some of them. I think they can clearly help students grasp the concepts."
"I would ABSOLUTELY use this text as a supplement in my course on research design. As I have thoroughly reviewed the entire text now, I am very delighted by it?s easy read and organization. I will be able to use this text in a very effective way with my students."
"Statistics Plain and Simple earns my hearty endorsement for its strong organization, sound pedagogy, clear presentation of key concepts and formulae, and overall readability."
