Blitzer does a good job with the content section of this text. Students have an easy time following along; however, there are a few areas where they have areas where the problems were not covered in the example section.

Comprehensiveness is very good. It covers almost everything needed in this course. However, there is a section (or two depending upon the college) that is left out of the book.

Readership Level is great. Students have no problem reading and understanding what is presented.

Accuracy is also great.

Clarity and Readablity could have been adjusted slightly in a different order. Was a little confusing for students.

Authorship, I generally enjoy Blitzer books, because they flow very easily.

I have taught with the book.
