2.0 out of 5 stars
Very "wordy" ....rather than to the point...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Human Aggression (Perspectives in Social Psychology) (Paperback)
This book is the chosen text for my Psychology of Aggression class. I have taken several Psych courses and used textbooks that were very clear, easily stated and to the point. This author is very "wordy" and tries to impress you with his jargon and writing style over the power to educate (I am not impressed.) This book is a teaching tool and should be better formulated and laid out. In this day and age anyone can make respectable power point graphs. The ones in this book are pitiful!
Maybe I am more of a visual learner. I like bulleted information, clear concise definitions and materials that are to the point. This book rambles at times...But I have no choice to dive in and try to engage myself in the material.
