Summary: A technician-training level manual
Comment: The study guide and lab manual is not written on a level suitable for most college electrical engineering courses, I believe, since it is rather mechanical in its procedures, which are of the form "do this, measure that" but do not require much understanding of the underlying theory. Although there are a few questions accompanying the "procedures" these do not probe deeply enough, in my opinion, and it would be quite possible for a student to perform the experiment and fill in all the blanks without understanding much of what s/he did. There are "review" sheets preceeding each experiment which touch on the theory, but again in a mechanical way. It does not seem to me that the experiments would provide any opportunity for creativity or real *experimentation* for students, and therefore the authors' goal of "stimulating your interest in elecricity and electronics" is unlikely to be met.
