How good are For Dummies books in Academic Study?
Note: All of this is under the assumption that the student is within the confines of academia. I think it really depends. I had a look at the book R for dummies (it is too basic for me) but it would be good and thorough introduction. Also Excel for dummies looks like a good introduction (I think about buying it).

The dummies book gave a different perspective, cleared up a few things for me, and really helped bridge the gap. Turned things around for me in that class big time. So yes, they can be very good. r/personalfinance.

I have no idea why).

Why do some people have a problem with the Dummies series books …
The books have good information in them, but they have become the butt of jokes in popular films and media. … The content of the ‘Dummies’ books varies wildly in quality, from excellent to uninformed and misleading.
