An Introduction to Psychological Science, Second Canadian Edition, 2/e

Review

“This [Work the Scientific Literacy Model] is a fabulous feature. This allows students and instructors to assess whether the concepts have been well understood and whether students are capable of applying the concepts.”

\--Laura MacKay, Capilano University

“I felt this [Working the Scientific Literacy Model] added a significant dimension of understanding to the material. It encourages the students to think carefully about the material and evaluate the evidence which is not always black and white–another strength of the book.”

\--Rick Healey, Memorial University of Newfoundland

“I do like the level of writing it does seem to offer a sound discussion that can be followed up in lecture. As the level of students varies from those who might be challenged by this material to those who will easily absorb this material I believe the level is within range.”

\--Randal Tonks, Camosun College

“It is a very good, and very solid text that should do well competing with other texts targeting Canadian students and universities.”
