I had to buy this book for an online class. I am sure the way the book is written is supposed to be cutting edge, but I found the book format (which provides a small amount of information then asks questions) to be extremely irritating. That, coupled with the online portion, in which there are these excruciatingly long and boring tests that demand verbatim recitation and accurate spelling instead of teaching concepts bothered me so much that It took me a while to get over my annoyance to figure out how to learn using this method. The rationale is that this type of format helps students to do better on tests. I felt like a lab rat. That said, as a result of taking the class, I feel I know more about behavior modification and behavior studies, which I find to be interesting..
