5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book for Undergraduate Sociology Students,
By Jack Crepeau (Tallahassee, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Social Issues: Critical Thinking and Analysis (5th Edition) (Paperback)
As a graduate student teacher, I can remember how difficult reading and analyzing statistics in sociological articles can be. These authors have developped an interesting workbook that not only educates students about major social issues, but also shows them how to play with the numbers in tables and interpret them as well. If you wish to teach critical thinking skills in your class that can enable students to be able to analyze the data they are presented with in life, instead of having students memorize statistics on inequality, I would strongly suggest this book.
1.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Understanding Social Issues: Critical Analysis and Thinking (6th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is so small that you cannot believe your eyes when you see it for the first time compared to the price you pay. Take it in the library and make copies of the assignments you'll need in class. Absolute waste of money.
