Not a text I'm selling back

This was a required text for a graduate class and I thought it was good enough to keep. It is a great introductory book that provides a good look at many of the different theories. It is true that it is not really deep, but that is what makes it a good introductory book. It goes just deep enough to help you understand.

A Good Introductory Textbook

This is a required text for my graduate class, but it does a good job of introducing student development theory

Very Pleased

Book arrived in record time...just in time for my class so I was very pleased. It was also in great shape and very well packaged. Thanks.

excellent overview

I also used this book in my graduate program. This book provides an excellent overview student development theory. It is an excellent introductory text. I had the added benefit of using this text in a course taught by one of the authors.

Excellent as reference or teaching tool

I needed this text for my graduate work, and it will remain on my shelf for many years. It does a great job of covering all of the major developmental theories and a few others!
