Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective CANADIAN EDITION 1st Edition

Description

Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective, Canadian Edition is a dynamic digital book that introduces students to psychological science through experiences. Each chapter is built around interactives that allow students to experience course concepts directly, using active learning to promote deeper understanding. In partnership with Indigenous authors and contributors, author Stephanie Denison has thoroughly updated the text with Canadian statistics, research, cultural examples, and Indigenous knowledge and perspectives. In the Norton Illumine Ebook, you will be able to track students’ completion of embedded interactives and assessments, which provide rich feedback to motivate students and build their confidence in their learning.

Interactive Psychology makes psychological science illuminating, inclusive, and personally relevant, enabling students to see human behavior through a new perspective.
