That's a good approach because students need to have at least a basic understanding of the process before undertaking a project." - C. Collin Pillow,ArkansasState University "I like the 'not-so in-depth' approach of the authors...all things considered, it's straightforward, to the point, and readable." -- Sam Lovato,ColoradoState University
