Product Description
Using the APA undergraduate psychology learning outcomes, the author establishes clear learning objectives for readers and ties the text assessment to these objectives. Praised for a very engaging writing style, comprehensive coverage of key research, and strong pedagogical features, Ciccarelli focuses on getting students to actually read their textbook. Student feedback from numerous class tests and instructor feedback from an extensive reviewing process emphasize the appeal of Ciccarelli's approach to teaching and learning in today's classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intro to Psychology Textbook, January 9, 2007

By	V. Dunwoody "PsychProf" (Rancho Cucamonga, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent mid-level intro psych book. It uses the APA learning outcomes to guide content. It is very user friendly text with a great graphics. It is not at the level of an Atkinson or Weiten (full version)text but not as easy as Coon. If you are a beginning student of psychology you will find this to be a very enjoyable text that will keep you reading without falling asleep! If you are an instructor of psychology looking for a text and have a very diverse classroom this text may work well for you!
