Rod Plotnik earned his Ph.D. as a biological psychologist from the University of Florida and a post doctorate at Yale University. Early in his career, he realized the effectiveness of teaching students through visuals to get them excited about the material, a technique he utilizes throughout INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY, now in its Tenth Edition (Cengage Learning, 2014). Haig Kouyoumdjian's interest in psychology was sparked when he used Rod Plotnik's INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY in his first psychology course. He later received a Master of Arts in psychology at San Diego State University, where he had the opportunity to work closely with Rod Plotnik, who at the time was a professor in the department and supervisor of the graduate teaching associates training program. Dr. Kouyoumdjian later earned his Ph.D. as a clinical psychologist from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. He has been teaching undergraduate psychology courses and authoring introductory psychology textbooks ever since.
"[This is] a well integrated text and online supplement which
encourages student engagement with material and prioritizes
assessment of learning outcomes. I would say that the text package
is modern and designed to fit the needs and learning style of
contemporary students."Caitlin Shepherd, Colorado State
University
"A book that does it all." Amy Skinner, Gordon College
"A great idea, with a nice integration of textual and online
learning materials connecting the concepts students read about to
online visuals and self-assessments. . . . This will serve as a
great addition to hybrid and online courses! Students won't need to
purchase a study guide, as this one has one built in the
text!"Pamela Costa, Ph.D., Tacoma Community College
"Cutting edge, state of the art, 21st century paradigm for
textbooks and learning."Jan Mendoza, Golden West College
