Description
Unique in approach, this activity book provides students with hands-on experience in 'doing' psychology, rather than just reading about it. It contains thirty-nine active learning experiences that correspond to major topics in psychology. A great supplement to traditional introductory texts. *Emphasis on active learning, critical thinking, and student involvement in all major topical areas of psychology. *Instructors can easily assign the activities when topics are being covered in class. *Activities can be used for out-of-classroom assignments or in-class use.
