“An excellent companion for statistical computing using Stata that is a must-use for those instructors that assign the Pollock text and use Stata in their course."
“This textbook is a great resource for teaching students how to conduct basic quantitative analysis using Stata. It provides intuitive examples from real data sets. I think it is a great resource for teaching students how to carry their own research projects.”
“This is a great workbook to teach Stata to students who are also learning the basics of statistical analysis. It comes with four datasets that can be used to run analyses. Its exercises are very useful and the instructor tools are great.”
“For teaching Stata to undergraduates, this book provides the friendliest approach I have found. Over six straight semesters of teaching the same course, I have found it to make both my teaching experience and the students’ learning experience far more interesting and interactive than a typical “Research Methods” course. It provides exceptional instructional assistance, and presents information to students in an easily digestible way.”
