• The book can be read at many different levels. The reader can look for teaching ideas, and the administrator can search for valid suggestions on program improvement or reorganization. Its description of projects surveying students provides insights for those seeking to understand student motivation and the classroom practices that may influence it. All in all, this volume will be an important and useful addition to the professional library and potentially useful as a course test.
