Systematic Design of Instruction, The, Pearson eText with Loose-Leaf Version -- Access Card Package (8th Edition) 8th Edition

I am using this loose-leaf book for my Instructional Design class in my MS program. I like that it is looseleaf because I add my charts and assignments to the binder and textbook as I go. I really like how it is laid out, and its consistency throughout the course. It pays ALOT of attention to the details in the ID process. Overall, very grateful that the textbook works so well in this particular type of course.

The loose leaf paper is very poor quality, the eText is only available to you for a few months, and this book is so poorly written it’s pretty much useless on its own. If you’re not forced to buy this for a class, or already happen to know pretty much everything about this model, definitely don’t bother with this book. If you don’t have a really good instructor, don’t expect to learn what you need to know from just this book. For a book about designing instruction, the authors clearly don’t know how to provide instruction.

Publisher should be ashamed of their work. The book is printed on the thinnest of papers. Be aware that the publisher doesn’t have a well staffed support desk since I called to figure out why the app is not allowing me to use voice over options on my iPhone. They are incompetent at their help desk.The review does not reflect the seller.

This book was requires for one of my doctoral classes. And not only was I lucky to find it here, but I got the best price on it here. I am very grateful!

Good

Textbook. It is picking up where my Cornell education left off. I am now in grad school at Purdue in Human Resources Development. Good book. It is only printed and punched. So be sure to have a one to one and a half inch ring notebook to snap it into.

This ebook absolutely is useless for highlighting text and keeping good notes on a page. It does NOT search half the pages since some pages are simply jpg type images and text cannot be selected. I would have been better off if I had a PDF of the book!!!I'll never purchase another Pearson product if this is the quality I will receive.I tried to call several help desk numbers and got nowhere.This book drives me insane trying to study from.

Just as expected, quick shipping. Seller was awesome. Product could have been better; just can't stand loose leaf.

Kind of a rip off considering you are just getting pieces of papers that aren't even binded.You can easily get a photocopied version that is binded for a fraction of the cost, or for people that like to obey the law, you can always borrow the book from the library and return it once you're done.I was kinda upset about the fact the "book" essentially consists of pages that aren't connected to each other and have no color to them.

It is a good reference book for introducing individuals to the area. The loose-leaf format works well because it can fit into a binder and be used with notes in the binder.
