The most learner-centered and assessment-driven approach to psychology
Throughout their number-one-selling Introductory Psychology franchise, authors Saundra Ciccarelli and J. Noland White employ a learner-centered, assessment-driven approach that maximizes student engagement, and helps educators keep students on track.
 
Now in its third edition, Psychology: An Exploration draws students into the discipline by showing how psychology relates to their own lives. Clear learning objectives, based on the recommended APA undergraduate learning outcomes, guide students through the material. And assessment tied to these learning objectives lets students check their understanding, while allowing instructors to monitor student progress and intervene when necessary to bolster student performance.
