From reviews of the text:
"What particularly distinguishes the Ormrod textbook from other textbooks of this kind is its writing style ... it is highly engaging. Dr. Ormrod speaks directly to her readers and shares engaging stories and examples, often from her own life and of a personal nature. This sharing makes the content come alive for readers and engages them. Readers feel as if Dr. Ormrod is having a personal conversation with them, never "talking down to them."
- Shawn M. Glynn, University of Georgia
"This textbook is extremely useful and valuable for college instructors, faculty, and graduate students (teachers and students) in educational programs .... [It has a] great emphasis on using the lens of theoretical pedagogies and theories to explain how educational psychology applies in our real world and instructional practice.... The activities and examples are amazingly engaging for learners to build connection with their authentic environments."
- Yashu Yang, University of Nebraska - Lincoln
"I find the writing very clear and quite refreshing. The key strengths [are] the comprehensiveness and scope of the content, discussion of recent research and theories, personal introductions to every chapter, great attention to detail and a summary at the end of each chapter."
- Anandi Nagarajan, Rutgers University & Rider University
