Review title: More confusing than useful
Product review: This textbook was required for my COP 4722, Survey of Database Systems class and I have to say this book provided no help to me in passing the course. The author wrote this text in a manner that makes the subject extremely dull, tedious and boring. Often, I would have to re-read a sentence 3 times just to get the jist of what he's trying to explain. The concepts are poorly explained and the examples are lousy. To be honest, after a month or so into the course, I gave up on the text completely and relied entirely on my notes, online/internet help and the professor's powerpoint/lectures. In my whole 4 years of attending an university, this was the only class that I earned a C in(which is the lowest grade I've ever gotten). I can't blame the textbook entirely because the professor was not exactly the best at teaching. Lets just say that after the drop date, less than 25% of the students remained.
