Publisher's Synopsis
Understanding Psychology focuses on Students First, to engage students' attention and teach them about the discipline, with the result that students learn the course content and become excited about the field of psychology. Shaped by decades of experience, Dr. Feldman believes that an effective introduction to a discipline must be oriented to students: informing them, engaging them, and exciting them about the field and helping them connect it to their world. It needs to embody the principles of contemporary learning science and present the materials in a way that draws students into the discipline and stimulates their thinking. Updated to include the latest research from diverse scholars, the author wants every student to see themself in Understanding Psychology. Its modular format and integrated pedagogical tools pair with McGraw Hill's Connect(R) platform to provide a range of resources to both animate students about the field and help them master the content of the course.
