Title: OSU Integrated Lab Students, Hear Ye!
Review: Students were asked to purchase this textbook, and most students in the class agreed that it was more or less a waste. In six terms of lab, we did no more than three experiments out of the thirty or so in the book. The discussion is often at sucha high level that the 'trees in the forest' are hiddenby the surrounding fog. If you're taking the 300 or 400-serieslab courses at OSU, just stick with what's in thehandouts...that's what I did, and I got A's on about 90%of the reports. Even if the profs tell you to read S-G-N,don't waste too much time on it. As a research or reference book, S-G-N is fine and probably very useful (today I'man industry chemist, not a researcher). But if you'rean undergrad student taking labs at OSU or any school,put S-G-N back on the shelf for a rainy day orreturn it and get a refund.
Is the review positive or negative?
