Abstract

The process of choosing a new textbook should include some method to assess the utility of a textbook to the students. By having students review textbooks, one can gather information about the readability of the text. One possible format is an interview, which allows for clarification of comments. A surprising benefit of that format is that one can also learn about the students’ (mis)conceptions of mathematics. © 1997 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
