Criteria for coursebook assessment

My coursebook is:


In deciding on the rating of each item, it might help to ask yourself: if this quality were missing, would I therefore not use the book? If so, then you obviously think the quality essential or very important. If, however, the quality is desirable, but its absence would not necessarily stop you using the book if all the other criteria were fulfilled, then perhaps a single tick may be enough.





We can see, the grades of my book are only 7. Maybe, because it's a government book and they want to give correct contents and correct procedures for each student. According to the results this book is very complete, only needs a good teacher to teach it.
