Exploring psychology in modules

Synopsis

From his experience as an author and teacher, David Myers has concluded that students digest material more easily when it is presented in smaller chunks. Ask students whether they would prefer a 600-page book to be organized as fifteen 40-page chapters or as forty 15-page chapters and their answers will approach a consensus: students prefer shorter chapters. And research on learning strategies supports this preference: chunked material is more easily digested. Responding to student preference and learning research, Myers has created a modular version of his best-selling brief introductory text, Exploring "Psychology. Exploring Psychology, Fifth Edition, in Modules reorganizes the 15 chapters of "Exploring Psychology, Fifth Edition into 40 short chapters, or modules.
