 $69.99 Howell, Statistical Methods for Psychology 8th Edition 


Statistical Methods for Psychology 8th Edition

 David Howell writes in a fairly easy-to-follow manner and is decent at explaining statistical concepts-- not great, however: he slips into over-complication of a few ideas while flippantly running over others that could use more thorough consideration. As a result, the book alternately feels as though it were written for undergraduates and/or statisticians beyond my own abilities. I don't feel that I personally got much out of it.

His methods, theoretical opinions, and variable designations differed widely from those used by my professor, so the textbook often served to hinder rather than aid my understanding of the concepts. I think a different text (or no text at all?) would have better served my graduate level statistics class, but I am grateful that it was at least easy to get through (i.e. didn't make me cry and pull my hair out).
