Title: Should be titled "Hint Guide"
Review: This should be titled "Hint Guide," because it rarely shows the complete solution. It is very frustrating to open the "Solutions Guide" only to find the same information I would have found in the back of the textbook. And often, the answer in the back of the textbook is clearer than the convoluted answer in the solutions guide. Most of the time only the answer is given, with perhaps a step or two of the work shown. An example - If the textbook asks the student to find the second derivative of a function, the solutions guide will show the original function, the first derivative, and the second derivative, with no other work to show how they came to that answer.I have also come across several problems where the answer in the solutions guide was different than the answer in the back of the textbook. They could have done a much, much better job.
