Customer Reviews

Fast and Easy

The whole purchasing process was easy. Book is borderline racist in some chapters. Not focused on higher education at all, and that is the focus of my doctoral program.

Developing the Curriculum

This was a great value! The book was in perfect condition and the shipping was fast. Thanks so much for your help, got an "A" in the class!

textbook

I saved a lot of money ordering this book used. I received it just in time for my class.

good content, bad binding

The book is very practical for those who are interested in developing the curriculum. It covers all facets about curriculum and many examples. But the edit structure is not very clear, besides, the binding is very lousy. The pages fall off easily.
