User’s Reviews

There is no Editorial Review for this book

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ The book has decent summaries of the material, but the questions are not always worded well. The textbook (not the study guide) itself has excellent summaries for each chapter. The answer key in the study guide is incorrect, and even the corrected online version still has some iffy choices. It does make you search for clarification, which I supposed is helpful for studying, but some of the questions and answers are very poorly worded. You are probably better off using the free online resources and the textbook, which is excellent.

⭐ I was able to easily afford this book when rented and I did not risk holding on to this book for years to come because the school book store will not take it back for a decent price. Renting is a good way to save money and not spend hundreds on new textbooks. This book was an online book and helped me understand and verify my knowledge from class lectures. This is a good supplemental book to the coarse.

⭐ I’m going back to school for a second degree in Nursing and am currently taking Pathophysiology as a pre-requisite for a few of the programs I am interested in. This was the book and workbook required by my instructor. I’m an A student, probably more so now than when I was an 18 year old more interested in partying than studying.Before I purchased this book/workbook I read the reviews and was upset to see that it was such a negatively reviewed book. Though now that I’ve got it and have read 4 chapters, and done the workbook exercises I see what others are talking about. Some of the workbook questions are okay, many others are horribly worded, and others…..well, they’re testing whether you read small details, not whether you understand broad concepts.For instance in chapter 8, you’ll read about the Inflammatory process, which if you’ve taken A&P II, you’ve already been exposed to. Well, in the book you learn about Mast Cell Degranulation and the importance of it. There you read that there are two products of Degranulation (along with several other items that the Mast Cell can synthesize)….but those two products are 1. Histamine, and 2. Chemotactic chemicals, specifically Eosinophil Chemotactic factor and Neutrophil chemotactic factor. That’s it. However, in the workbook chapter 8 practice test, which is mostly multiple choice you’ll be asked to select from 4 choices, the products of Mast Cell Degranulation….and not ONE of those choices includes both of the products and only those products.If you have to have the book/workbook for class, good luck. I have to believe there are better Patho textbooks out there. 🙁

⭐ Only reason why i passed patho right here, the concept maps were nice, that were not provided in the original text book. excellent supplement. Was shipped in great condition.

⭐ A useful tool if you are looking for a concise overview of the various chapters of the textbook. I’ve used it on a few occasions to help me prepare for quizzes and exams and it’s helped me. I find it a valuable tool, particularly since I’m taking a condensed version of the typical 16 week course.

⭐ good condition!

⭐ Good price but a lot of highlights which I don’t mind, but was totally missing all of the answer sheets! Really doesn’t help me with the question. I got what I paid for!

⭐ I ordered the workbook and I received the textbook? Really?

⭐ Like previous customers have said before- the answer key is incorrect. The review section is great, but save yourself utter confusion and frustration and don’t even look at the practice tests. (Which really makes this book worthless because the textbook gives great concise concept summaries).

⭐ Good text for study prep, recommend review before going to web site for testing it does help significantly.
