Algebra 2

3 stars (Its O.K.) - hey im an 8th grader in advanced classes. this book is okay cuz it has clean organization and stuff, and ive seen MUCH worse. lmao. it also has the *special* features like the study guides, extra help, and online resources. the really bad 1 i used in 7th grade, alg 1, by some otha company, was like 20 years old and uncolorful, stinkiyyy, boring, and unhelpful. lol i got a C. this book, however, isn't as bad, and also easyer to read. but its still math, one of my most unfavorite subjects!!! anyways, thank u 4 ur time and patience. 3 stars (not to good) - The book itself is bad enough. it teaches you as though it was teaching a mathmatician. i am a student, and the whole class has c's,d's,and f's. it does not give any other information that students would be confused about 3 stars (Pretty average, depends on your intentions) - In 9th grade, while taking Algebra 2 / Analysis, I used this book. Well, I didn't "use" it to learn the material. (Partly because I knew it all anyway, but that's besides the point.) The truth is that this book doesn't really teach you much as it's explanations are breif and I never really read them anyway. It's good it you want to do homework problems as it has many problems and even solutions in the back. Therefore, it really matters what you intend to use this textbook for. If it's just for homework and doing problems, it's good. If it's to teach an entire Algebra 2 course, it's not so good. ...

3 stars (nice book) - I've seen better, but there is very little scribbling in it and that's what counts. Thank you. 5 stars (An Excellent Guide to Introductory French) - This book was used in my French 101 and 102 classes: Introductory French 1 and 2. I really liked it. Although its strength is grammar and vocabulary, it also teaches some French cultures in every chapter. You can learn listening with audio-CDs. But learning speaking is very hard if you self-study (based on my experience). I utilized the workbook and audio-tapes fully. They were very helpful tools to learn. A great collegiate introductory French book! 2 stars (Frustrating.) - Ditto "ashamed" previous. The workbook is difficult to use, and filled with errors. The tapes are frustrating and uneven, switching from too-difficult narratives to too-easy exercises. I've been through 18 chapters and 9 tapes, and can't speak. The textbook itself is better than the workbook and tapes. It is heavy on grammar and verb conjugation. ...

Launching New Ventures- An Entrepreneurial Approach

5 stars (Most informative book in 8 years of business college) - This book fully explains how to start a real entrepreneurial venture and make it a success! The author is the best expert in the field. I was introduced to this book through an instructor who had made this book required reading for a credit class. Instead of wasting hundreds of dollars on some seminar to start a small business, purchase and use this book to discover how much success you can achieve by thinking "outside" of the box. Launch a venture that can give real financial support to you and your employees. Who knows, you may be the next Bill Gates just needing some basic tools to start. Here are those tools. ..........

General Chemistry

1 stars (The worst chemistry book ever!) - As a physical science major, I consider the book to be worst than mediocre. It is way too "general", basically giving worded explanations rather than applied concepts and clear diagrams. Some of the topics are very vague and you are left more confused than ever. I supplement my studying with a McMurray and Fay textbook which is 10 years old and I acquired for 25 cents, and it is even better than this trash of a book. It also provides very few problems at the end of the chapter. For example, for the nomenclature and orbital diagrams, there are only two problems each, not enough to practice for a test. The cummulative skill problems are way to difficult for a beginning scientist, and their level of difficulty isn't justified, since the book doesn't explain clearly. Reading it is basically like reading Popular Science: way too much writing to explain one simple concept. It goes on and on, which makes me think, "Who cares?." If it had not been for the fact that I took introductory chemistry, (I used a Zumdahl book, by the way) I would had been lost. The material is also spread all over the place throughout the chapters. While redox chemistry is introduced somewhere around chapter 7 or eight, you see it again in chapters 20, so my teacher goes back and forth, flipping through the pages. As a relief, the chemistry dept. at my school is changing the book next semester for the general chemistry 2 course. We will be using a Raymond Chang book. Please, professors, do not torture your students by making them buy this book. ...
