This book is a quick and enjoyable read. The content is very easy to understand. Through the use of humor and skill testing questions, Mager has made learning fun! As a student, I survived many of the poorly written objectives that Mager describes in this book. It was nice to realize I wasn't the problem...the objectives were! I look forward to using this guide to develop clear, concise objectives so students can focus more on the joy of learning and be more successful at it.

Written by the patron saint of trainers everywhere, Robert Mager provides a quick, humorous and easy-to-understand read in what is the heart and soul of training--objectives.

This book offers the readers choice solutions or answers. The reader then turns to the page choice to see if she selected the right choice or not.

Another essential about this book is besides being less than an afternoon read, it is essential to review time and again when you are writing instructional objectives.

Buying this should be one of your objectives!

As a graduate student in an education masters program, I found this book to be essential for writing instructional objectives. My professor suggested it, and it was a great recommendation.

Very straight-forward and easily digestible read. Step-by-step instructions will have you creating meaningful objectives, which translate into meaningful instruction.

This book is the easiest read I've had in studying education. It is a "choose your own adventure" in education. Read about how to write instructional objectives and then turn the page to find out if you understand what you've read. Very simple and to the point. You don't need any other book to help you write objectives!

This is a great book. it has been enormously helpful to me in the completion of my instructional design book. The writing style is very interesting (even funny at times!) and the author really helps the reader to understand what an instructional objective is (and isn't) and how to write an excellent one.

This was only suggested reading for my course but I can't imagine doing without it.

This book taught me nothing. Seriously reading the back cover to this 180 page paper weight was more information than was covered in the book. If you don't understand that setting objectives for your students or that making an goal obtainable is an important part of teaching, then please for the good of us all DON'T TEACH! Don't buy this book.

Received item in great condition, but was long getting here. Over 2 weeks. I needed this book for school. Had to borrow someone elses book.

Mager is the real thing. When it comes to developing instruction for adults, he is a must read. This short but critical work will help you greatly enhance your training by focusing on and developing instructional objectives which result in real and desired behavioral change.

This book is an excellent learning tool. The format is very different and very effective for learning. I loved it.
