This is a new way of learning independently. I think the tools are very helpful for those who like to independently review or reinforce what they have learned. It is also great to be able to return to the book and pick from where you left off.

The book is well organized and clear. I wish I had this book when I was working on my thesis in 2009. The information provided in the book brings forth so much clarity and makes so much sense in understanding an hypothesis, variables etc.

I like and I dislike the audio reading. I like it because it's helpful to listen to the literature during specific times after a long work day although, one would have to get use to the tone of the reader.
