Reviews
The [Video Examples] assist the reader/student in both comprehension and application of the content... and I felt excited at the prospect of utilizing this program in my own course(s)... Pearson MyLab makes it easier to instruct a course, as everything is in one place, and the program calculates grades and some assessments automatically...I also believe that the inclusion of licensure exam prep is critical to the population of preservice teachers that I instruct... I believe that this textbook is superior to the others that I have seen and worked with in the past. - Erin McClure, Ohio State University Students are fond of the author's humor and realistic examples, as am I. I am also fond of the author's relaxed writing style and readability... There are many strengths here. I appreciate the logical progression from theory to practice and then to assessment. I also believe the case studies that begin each chapter are valuable in immediately capturing the students' interest. - A. Williams, Texas Tech University [W]hen I ask students if I should continue to use this textbook in the future, the answer always is a unanimous 'yes...' The students find this book to be very engaging and relevant... No textbook is perfect, but this one is the best I have used to date... The problem [with my previous text] was most of my students did not read it... I decided to go ahead with Ormrod... because my colleagues used it. I discovered that my students love the book. Most say they read all of the assigned chapters... [With my previous text] only 1 to 3 of [a class of] 35 or so students ever claimed to have read all of the assigned chapters. - Darlene DeMarie, University of South Florida
