I vote for Howell as well. I use it frequently. It is a little tough for some students (though not as tough as, say, Hayes), but it's got the beef you'll need. Howell also has the best material on effect sizes and power of any textbook I've seen.

For completeness, go with Howell.  For clarity (from the students' perspectives) I'd look at Heiman (the combined method/stats text -- the stats-only version doesn't go far enough beyond one-way ANOVA, and it never hurts to reiterate that research designs come from statistical models).  Heiman is the only text I've ever used in any class that spontaneously generates "this is a good book" sorts of comments from the students.  My only complaint is that he doesn't really use good notation for the more complex designs, and instead uses words rather than symbols.

Hi everyone,
 
I've been offered a section of Intermediate Statistics at one of the CSUs. I have taught the intro course, including one-way ANOVA and simple regression, for about 8 years. I took a decently taught ANOVA course and very poorly taught course in Regression & Correlation in graduate school. Once upon a time I could do a two-level factorial ANOVA by hand.
 
So I am looking for a recommendation for a good text with sufficient practice problems (that's the way I teach. I will also want them to do work by hand before we use SPSS). CSU may have a book picked out (Howell is the one on my sample syllabus) but I'd like to know what alternatives exist. Also, for my own sake, as I intend to spend part of the winter break refreshing my skills in this area.
 
I learn/remember best by doing, so I really appreciate recommendations of books (and online sources for that matter) that provide actual practice problems.

Thanks and good luck to everyone finishing the term.
