+ \linebreak
+
+ While reading the content for the textbook for the TECH 1001 class, I have noticed, in spite of the good of the textbook, there are quite a few flaws with it:
+\linebreak
+ \textbf{Flaws:}
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item For the subject matter, the content of the textbook is highly verbose.
+ \item The images and graphics included with the textbook could be removed (so long the text is adjusted accordingly) with very little loss to the quality of the textbook.
+ \item The textbook uses sciences such as MBTI and "Learning Styles" in spite of little proper proof existing for these sciences.
+ \item Much of the extra content is locked behind DRM, requiring the use of "Widevine", a closed source addon, to be used.
+ \item The textbook itself is under a licensing scheme that restricts the user's freedom. Said textbook also requires an exorbiant fee for limited time use.
+ \end{enumerate}
+ \textbf{Strong Points:}
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item The Glossery is of quite high quality, defining most words the user would want.
+ \item The practical advice in the book can be generally useful for those who need it.
+ \end{enumerate}
+
+ If the book's content was truncated as to remove verbosity, dubious and less credible aspects of the textbook were removed, and the licensing and software used to access the book didn't restrict the user's freedom, then this book would be of an appreciatable quality.
