I had the luck of being taught by Prof. Meira - who is one hell of a professor - while this book was in draft stage. Here you'll find not only a great toolkit of techniques of data mining, but more importantly, a very comprehensive arsenal of concepts to properly analyse your data and the results of the techniques applied.

As grizzlon said in a sibling comment, you'll find the chapter dependencies on page 10, in case you need to look up/learn something specific on demand.

The chapter dependencies is one of those things that is so obvious you wonder why it isn't in every textbook.

How was the class? The book is very comprehensive. I'd imagine it would be hard to cover it in a year, let alone a quarter or semester. What environments and languages did the class program in?
