Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-25 00:00:00 Kenji Akiyama This book was one of my first forays into the field of education and the psychological mechanics which provide the field's foundation within the classroom (Or, as my undergraduate history professor Roper would have termed it, the underlying "infrastructure"). I found the book to be well structured and educational- at least for a beginner such as myself. The author does a good job of providing examples and defining terms. A solid overview of the various perspectives within educational psychology and a terse account of their history were provided. The writing style was fluid, personable, readable and rarely dry. I, unfortunately, did not get the MyEducationLab access when I bought this book. Thus, there were some sections of the book in which the coverage seemed lacking because of the lack of access to the computer component. Overall it was a good textbook and one I would recommend to others who are just stepping into this field of study or who someday plan to teach.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-06-20 00:00:00 Angela Bebo This book does an excellent job of exploring the world of educational psychology. I was actually dreading this class this summer but overall but this book was actually interesting and got me through the class quite nicely. Normally I wouldnt read these books but since it was a summer class I had no choice. I actually enjoyed it at times and would recommend it to anyone going into the field of education.
