User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars How do you learn
I thought this was an excellent book for me because I am going back to school after many years an eye opener to how to learn.
4 Stars Concise Edition vs. Full Edition
I thought this was the required book for a class but I found out I needed the Full Edition (5th Edition) rather than the Concise Edition (5th Edition). Also, even if I bought the Full Edition, I would still need to purchase a password (key) for access to the web assignments for class. Other than that, the book came quickly and was in great shape, etc.
