Hi all. I'm contemplating changing intro texts to try and save some
of my students some money (and I've also becoming a bit disillusioned
with Weiten's Themes and Variations, briefer). I've looked at
Franzoi's Essentials text, but wasn't too impressed. Of course,
Myers' Exploring Psychology is a fabulous book, and it's also priced
about $19 below that of Weiten. I'm trying to see if I can save even
more money. I've just finished reading Ettinger's Chapter on
learning, and I was very impressed. The writing is clear and
straightforward, and I like the organization of the chapter. There
are a couple of problems with some Figures being in appropriately
labeled and/or described (one a residual problem from v.1, which is
strange), but overall, the chapter looked good. Have any of you used
the text, and if so, what sorts of feedback can you provide. It's
very competitively priced -- only $29.99 wholesale to the bookstore.
It's a new edition, so won't be available used for a semester, but
the old edition is available for $25.00 on Barnes and Noble.
Any feedback will be appreciated. -- Mark
