Review

Janice Purk, Mansfield University: "In the Knox/Schacht I really like the Special Topics that are available. These seem to cover areas which are not in the text that I am using." "It gives a good overview of the family system support of research and theory."

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Guide to Choices in Relationships - 6th edition, August 5, 2001
By A Customer
This Student Study Guide is an essential tool for students aspiring to secure a good grade. Each chapter has a summary that highlights the essential terms of that learning block. Next students are quizzed on the major concepts and terms of that chapter. Finally, they are tested with multiple choice questions. The latter two testing tools reinforces the learning from the main text - Choices in Relationships - An Introduction to Marriage and the Family - David Knox & Caroline Schact - 6th edition; and saves valuable time in keeping students focussed on the important points to be learned from each chapter. The advantage of the student guide is that many of the evaluation questions find themselves in the assessment that is done by the instructor. This book is a "must" for a good grade.
