Your students are individuals. Do your teaching materials treat them that way? Feldmans Essentials of Understanding Psychology does. From an adaptive diagnostic tool that provides a GPS for learning to a reader-friendly modular organization, Feldman ensures that every student gains a better understanding of psychology.
Its new groundbreaking adaptive diagnostic tool generates a personalized study plan to help students “know what they know” while guiding them to understand and learn what they dont know through engaging interactivities, exercises, and readings.
