Schaum's Outline of Microbiology, Second Edition

This book explains the same chapters as the book but in layman terms. Easy to understand microbiology with this book, I just couldn't understand the school micro book. The questions and answers from schaum's are not the exact questions from the school exam. So, if you can understand the questions and answers from each chapter, then you will not have trouble with your test at school and that is because it is the same question but asked in a different way. Do not memorize the question and answers from schaums, it will not help you, find each answer on your own and that way you will have the knowledge and ace your exams at school. Good luck :)

I purchased this book when I took an accelerated course in organic chem(I will never do that again!). Needless to say without this book I would have never passed Micro, this book is to be used in conjunction with your textbook. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because there were a few typos in the publication.

I think this book is wonderful, when I had my Microbiology class I used it along with my microbiology textbook by name "Microbiolgy, An Introduction." by Gerald J Tortora. You know it really prepared my for my exams and it made microbiology even more interesting. You know I got of final grade of an A!!.I think any serious student of Microbiology should give it a try.

This book is helpful because it has a lot of problems to help prepare for exams. I did not think it did a very good job explaining concepts. Just an outline of the chapter. Additionally there were several typos.

This book is a great complement to Alcamo's Micriobiology 8th Edition. It's chapter by chapter, simplified and perfect for on the go reading. I found it really helpful to read this first, then go back to the text to read and really understand. The review is great as an additional source to test your knowledge.

My teacher recommended this book. I found it a great summary of what I was learning and very helpful. The questions were actually used in my class so it was really helpful in that aspect. I would recommend this as an additional study aid.

This arrived early and looks like a good book. I will use it to supplement my textbook for microbiology class. Looks like it will help a lot!

This is a useful introduction to those unfamiliar with microbiology.Would not recommend to University students, as it covers too little too thinly.This would work well as Summer reading over the break, if you plan to take introductory microbiology in the coming semester.

OK

good
