I really like the lab manual... Someone has really spent time thinking about these activities... I think it is a good way to make sure the student learn and understand these topics.

The [lab manual] is easy to read and to follow. The charts / tables seem to be placed in a logical spot so the flow of the material is not interrupted. I do see a strong application of this [lab manual] to my classroom.
*Mary Simpson, Baylor University, US*

[The lab manual's] strengths include introducing various aspects of terminology, as well as a well-designed wear testing sequence... I especially like the use of the tables in the chapters, which are almost like a glossary of information relevant to the appropriate chapters, as well as the table listing the various test methods, both U.S and international, that can be used to evaluate different characteristics.

My general impression of the [manual] is very good. I would definitely use this lab manual when teaching an apparel evaluation course. The manual is very easy to follow and the instructions are very clear. The activities involve garments that the students will be easily able to find in their wardrobes and bring to class. The evaluation tables supplied to evaluate the quality of different types of garments are very thorough and complete. ... I feel that this manual would be beneficial to our classroom needs.

I would love to have this in my classes... I think even without a lab, this book content will be valuable.
