ReviewsKaren Amesbury, Luzerne County Community College "I like the [Engage and Retain] feature and would keep it. It calls attention to issues and encourages further thinking and discussion on [the] topic." Ashlie N. Johnson, Colorado State University Fort Collins "I think the efforts toward diversity in this book is one of my favorite features. I deeply applaud this and can't think of improvements... in the current modules." "The book itself is phenomenal and from what I can tell, the quizzes are good enough to keep the students halfway accountable for the reading that they are required to do." Dylan Kriescher, University of Northern Colorado "The illustrations are often clear, colorful, and clean. I enjoy the art style and it feels fresh and updated." "The biggest resource has been the adaptive quizzes (Learning Curves). Students enjoy them, they work well, and they provide a good measure of effort for the course." Nathan Deichert, Black Hills State University "I think this is the best intro textbook, which is why I use it. It's accessible to students because it's brief while still covering enough major topics. Very clearly written and supported by great research examples." Melissa A. Lea, University of Northern Colorado "I love the resources." Janet C. Titus, Heartland Community College "In general, I love the textbook and its many features. I love that it is built around cognitive science and features prominently the 'testing effect.'"
