Instructor's resources included with this text:
- Instructor's Resource Manual (IRM): The IRM can be used by first-time or experienced instructors to enrich classroom experiences. Each chapter includes a brief chapter summary; a chapter outline; lecture enhancements that present cutting-edge topics along with suggestions for using the content in class; and learning activities that provide “live” examples of research findings, discussion topics, and written assignments. Also included are model answers to the text’s Ask Yourself questions and listings of available videos on relevant topics.
- Test Bank: The Test Bank contains over 2,000 multiple-choice and essay questions, each of which is page-referenced to chapter content and also classified by type and difficulty level.
- PowerPoint™ Presentation: The PowerPoint presentation provides outlines and illustrations of key topics for each chapter of the text.
This is an excellent resource that I will add to the recommended reading section of the course syllabus. However, I find it provides more detail than my students can typically use and digest, so I can't consider it as a primary text.
