What Instructors Are Saying About MyDevelopmentLab

I was extremely impressed by the MyDevelopment Lab for Cook and Cook! The information was presented generally in a concise, accurate manner. The text was easy to follow and the additions of segments to watch or explore or listen to enhance the chapter topics. The authors do a great job of defining and reinforcing the terms that they deem important to a topic. There are numerous opportunities for students to check for understanding. The inclusion of pre and post tests as well as a guide for studying each chapter should make it easier for students (and professors) to follow the text as well as to cross-reference concepts. This is an awesome piece of work!!!!!

The experience of raising a virtual child provides them (students) with the opportunity to apply conceptual knowledge and it enhances their learning. This task has become the cornerstone of my Child and Adolescent Psychology course. I plan to continue to use this online tool in my classes and to explore additional ways to enhance its application in my courses. Student response to this learning task has been very positive. I would recommend MyVirtualChild as an excellent learning tool for any courses that involve the study of child and adolescent development.
