5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Going - But Worth It
Even a casual acquaintance with instructional design results in the mention of Robert Gagné's work.

With more than fifteen years in training, I have not used the book as it was intended. If you have a college professor who makes you read this, I advise you to swear out a complaint as soon as possible.

Buy this at your peril. All the speed or caffeine in the world will not get you through this.
