Novell's CNA® Study Guide -- IntranetWare¿/ NetWare® 4.11

Rating:
Summary: My students hate it!
Review: I am an instructor who teaches Novell Intranetware to students who don't have any previous computer experience, and they DETEST the book. I never noticed all the extra crap in it until they pointed it out to me. I spend most of my time pointing them to the EXCELLENT diagrams and charts, and steering them away from the text... It needs a re-write very very badly. I am going to recommend to my school that we change textbooks for this course.

Summary: Looking for another book!
Review: I didn't log on to review this book but to search for another. I have to agree with most of the other reviewers. I haven't taken the exam yet because after going over and over this book I have no confidence that I can pass the exam. All the extra fluff was terribly distracting! I couldn't keep track of where he was going most of the time. I passed my MCSE self study in 4 months. So I don't think its just me. I going to try another author.

Summary: My students hate it!
Review: I had to purchase this book for a network administation class. I find the zen and quotes and quizzes, annoying and distracting if not down right frustrating.After jumping back and forth trying to figure out what the heck the author's point is...he throws in another piece of useless humor--I use the term loosely. (Perhaps he should consider writing aerobic exercise books). The case studies might be useful if the answer was, in fact, in appendix C. re: chapter 4 case study.I certainly hope I can convince my instructor not to use any more of these books.

Summary: It'll get the job done and then some but,
Review: This book is an excellent source to study and prepare you to pass the CNA exam with a minimal amount of effort, it's just probably not going to be opened again after you pass the exam. A reference/resource kit for future use it's not. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks and get the CNE study guide. It has the same content and then some, and it's a great sidekick for reference on the job!

Summary: TOO MUCH FLUFF
Review: THIS BOOK WAS PROVIDED TO ME BY THE SCHOOL I ATTEND TO PREPARE FOR THE CNA. THIS BOOK IF FULL OF USELESS TID BITS. I HATED THE QUIZZES AND ZEN. ONCE IT FINALLY GOT TO THE INFORMATION, IT WAS VAGUE AND DISORGANIZED. IF I HAD TO RELY ON THIS BOOK TO PASS I WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT. LUCKLY, I HAD AN EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR.
