Ed, I used it as a supplement/review material for an AP Psych class (Myers was the main text but was an earlier edition). The kids liked it. Nancy did a wonderful job putting it together and rather than wait for the exam copy, your local Barnes and Noble should have it in their AP section. Jodi
Reed City HS From: [email protected] Subject: [tips] Psychology the Easy Way To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:33:04 -0400 I'm seriously considering adopting Nancy Mellucci's "Psychology the Easy Way" from the Barron series. Unfortunately, today is our book ordering deadline. Although that deadline is hardly firm, I'd rather not wait for the examination copy. So can anyone share their thoughts on the suitability of this book for an intro psych course at a mid-level state university? $15 vs the usual $130 for a textbook is a great incentive and I'm sick & tired of all the gimmicks in most textbooks. Besides, my students do very badly with those gimmicky books. And Nancy, you can feel free to comment on your own book. And if anyone would prefer to reply off-list, that's fine with me. Ed Edward I.
