 Great product, as described. September 11, 2008
This book was a class requirement and it arrived safely and in a timely manner. Much cheaper than the bookstore!

I had the misfortune of attending a class where this was the required text. This may be the worst textbook I've ever had. The editors have no pretenses about being objective: they often present only one side of an issue, or dramatically downplay the opposing view. Some of the exercises are comically biased. The MyLabSchool portion of the text was abysmal: the pre- and post-tests were riddled with errors. My professor was engaged in a continuous battle with the publishing company over the shoddy workmanship. The online video portions would freeze or, more often than not, simply not play - the whole class complained about it.
If you are a professor looking to acquire a new text for your class, please skip over this one. If you're a student who is required to use this text, Lord help you.
Excellent Start August 27, 2006

This text is comprehensive in scope. It presents educational theories whose understanding is imperative in today's classroom.
It is an excellent beginning for the student who plans to teach.
 forrest parkay...a luscious beast?! March 2, 2006
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
i bought this book on a whim because some of my fellow co-workers told me forrest w parkay was hot. hot like butter (they said it was no coincidence that his last name was parkay!). well, as hot as he may be, his anarchist points of view make him ugly as can be. the backdrop and underlying premise of parkay's work is that the key to becoming an excellent teacher is the caking oneself in butter on a daily basis and hurling curdled yogurt at children. if he is being comical, i don't see the humor. if he is serious, he has issues. dont miss the forrest through the trees (pun intended). you can think parkay is butter, but he's snot.
 BEAUTIFUL! September 19, 2005
