Customer Reviews & Comments
I wanted to give this book a fair review; so I made the decision to read six chapters before writing this. The textbook is filled with redundant definitions to key terms, complicated diagrams/graphs that do not make sense, and typographical errors(spelling mistakes) EVERYWHERE. I've found at least 12 typos so far, and I'm on page 191. It seems like the authors were trying to save some money on editing... For the new price of $175, and the used price of roughly $100, the book is a disgrace. With the amount of typos, confusing diagrams, and redundant definitions- this book is worth no more than 30 bucks. The simple fact that MIS professors(such as my own) are making their students use this textbook really speaks volumes about the incompetency of some of todays teachers. An example of one of the definitions: "Data cleansing, consists of detecting and correcting data in a database that are incorrect..." Correcting incorrect information, about data in a database? Could these definitions be ANY MORE redundant? An example of one of the *common typos: "For example, if a guest asks a bell captain a question, the bell caption can access the information..." Please...
