A little extra homework 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a good book to use with homework assignments. My son does a page a day along with his homework and I see a difference in his grades. Great practice for the State Grade Tests. If your child needs to sharpen his basic skills, this is the book.

5 Steps to a 5 AP World History 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Recommened by AP World History teacher. Recieved test results today and students(twins) have 5's!!!

3 Stars for a 4...and other reasons 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Like any other ap us history student I was faced with the task of taking the AP USH exam. However the harder task was choosing which book to use to study for it.

I looked at all the big names: Kaplan, Barrons, PR. And then I saw this. The book helped me get a 4 along with Barron flashcards i bought (buy those too!).

Goods: gives a good summary and 2 practice tests and dbq's and a diagnostic

Cons: eh, wait for an updated version of the book. didn't really go 'really' in depth as i would've liked. I had a really REALLY good teacher, so the book didn't help a decent amount by itself. there are only 5 questions at the end of each chapter, which test easy questions.

Final note: If they update this book, buy it. IF they don't look at other reviews for (09) USH books on amazon.

Editorial Review:

This revised edition of 5 Steps to a 5: AP U.S. History is fully updated with chapters on George W. Bush's first term and the 2004 election. It also includes new sections on the Clinton era, international relations, and U.S. foreign policy.

For the Instructional Designer 4 out of 5 stars.
14 of 16 people found this review helpful.

We used this book in my design class when I was earning a masters in training. It is still on my bookshelf. It is critical not only for instructional designers, but for managers who may know little or nothing about training but make training decisions.

This book focuses on a specific method to designing training programs. It is called the Instructional Systems Design Model (ISD), hence the title. It is also called A.D.D.I.E. This is the most commonly accepted approach to training.

The only thing that I wish the book had spent some pages on was using the two-column format. This book had everything else but that.

Still, there are certain texts that well-informed trainers have. This is one of them.

Editorial Review:

This classic book simply and clearly introduces readers to the fundamentals of instructional design and helps them learn the concepts and procedures for designing, developing, and evaluating instruction for all delivery formats. The new edition covers the impact of critical new technologies and the Internet. The book also addresses current design processes used in instructional settings and delivery systems across many curriculum and business areas including Internet-based distance education.

Editorial Review:

 

What can a well-designed, inquiry-based science curriculum do for a school? Look at El Centro, California. By focusing on K - 8 science, it raised student achievement districtwide across the content areas. Scaffolding Science Inquiry Through Lesson Design leads you, step by step, through El Centro's approach and demonstrates how to make it work for you and your students.

 

Scaffolding Science Inquiry Through Lesson Design helps you see the big picture of a powerful science curriculum as well as the details of daily instruction. Michael Klentschy and Laurie Thompson frame the goals and standards of science education through lesson design. Their research-based blueprint aligns the three stages of any curriculum:

• the intended curriculum - what you want to teach
• the implemented curriculum - what you actually taught
• the achieved curriculum - what students learn.

 Scaffolding Science Inquiry Through Lesson Design shares studies that support the efficacy of its approach with textbook- and kit-based curriculums.

 

Don't experiment. Discover the findings of a school that's made a science of success. Read Scaffolding Science Inquiry Through Lesson Design and summon the untapped power that science has to boost your students' achievement.

WAY too much, and WAY too scattered 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book did not help me at all! I read, more or less skimmed, the entire thing. HUGE mistake! I ended up reusing my AP World book to prepare for the SAT. The ideas in here are way to concentrated on the details, a lot more than even what other Barron's does, and the information will never be tested on the SAT.
So, I decided at first this book might be a reference book for the future, if I need to look up something really quick, but as I read through I realized the thing is a piece of junk. NO ORGANIZATION, FALSE GENERALIZATIONS, VERY POOR CHRONOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT!
To make things worse, the tests in here are practically impossible (and it's not just me. I felt the actual thing is somewhere around 100 times easier), and there were mistakes to at least 5 or 6 questions. The explanations are short and useless, and because the book is so poorly organized it is difficult to search the correct information in the text!
If I could give one piece of advice to the authors, here it is:
Stop trying to show readers you can outcompete other review books on how much history you stuff here, and stop trying to show readers how creative you can get putting the history together. Give them what they want, and that's a book with a good SAT II review.
I am so disappointed with Barron's right around now. I am switching review books to Princeton.

Editorial Review:

Updated to reflect the most recent SAT Subject Tests in World History, this manual presents two practice tests with answers and explanations. The manual’s extensive subject review has also been updated to account for important events of the past few years as they have affected cultures and countries around the world. The review chronicles human history from the earliest known societies to the rise of civilizations, a phenomenon that has developed to become today’s technology-driven world community. The 25-chapter review is organized chronologically and by categories covering major events, ideas, and personages in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Additional practice and review questions are included at the end of each chapter.

Editorial Review:

This brand-new test preparation manual, published in February of this year, will become available with an optional accompanying CD-ROM in September. The CD-ROM that is enclosed with the manual presents two full-length Biology E/M subject tests in addition to the two tests offered in the manual. All tests come with questions answered and explained, and the CD-ROM’s tests also feature automatic scoring. In addition to its pair of practice tests, the manual presents a short diagnostic test, an extensive subject review covering all test topics, and an overview of the SAT Biology E/M (Ecology and Molecular) test, which includes valuable test-taking advice.
