Abstract:

Textbooks are a critical part of the teaching/learning experience in most college courses. An appropriate textbook for a course is an important asset to students and faculty. In choosing a required textbook, instructors typically consider several criteria such as: content, organization, style, visual appeal, length, teaching aids, and personal preference. The readability level is an extremely important item which also should be considered in textbook selection.
