Introduction to Epidemiology is a good study tool for anyone interested in the field of epidemiology; I personally use it as a study tool for Disease Detectives.

This text gets the job done, but a couple of errors caused a couple of extra hours of work for me 🙄

Not my favorite text, but then again I'm certain I won't be an epidemiologist in my future. Questions were a a bit simple for a grad level class and the Case studies were not as fleshed out as I would have liked my PBL. Explanation of formulae was clear and concise but despite my professor's insistence that WHY we use those formulas and WHEN was really a Biotstats question made much of the book interesting instead of useful.

Pretty solid, except for a couple of chapters that write mathematical equations out in words rather than just showing examples with numbers. Chapter 2 is the BEST, honestly! Super fascinating. I'm a little disappointed that there were no women included in epidemiological historic moments, though.
