New! Achieve for Psychology 4e

We live in an increasingly digital world. As such, we are launching Macmillan Learning’s Achieve for Psychology with this new edition to ensure your students have access to the e-book, interactive learning activities, and additional resources whether they are learning at home, in lecture, or a combination of the two.

  1. Video Collection

    Featuring over 120 high-quality clips from classic and contemporary sources, as well as engaging original content developed in partnership with a faculty and student advisory board.

  2. Lifetime eBook Access

    Access to the eBook to download, read and virtually annotate for a completely flexible experience.

  3. Data Visualisation Activities

    Allow students to engage with data just as psychological scientists do and answer questions through their analysis.

  4. Test Bank

    Containing approximately 100 questions per chapter, all meticulously checked against updated text content and mapped to the BPS guidelines.

  5. Grade Book

    Assignable assessments with targeted feedback, insights and reporting, instructor resources - all with seamless integration options.

  6. Assignable Quizzes

    Questions and quizzes reinforce understanding and retention of concepts and theories in introductory psychology.

  7. PsychSim6

    The tutorials place students in the role of scientist or subject in activities that highlight important concepts, processes, and experimental approaches. Each PsychSim activity is paired with a quiz to ensure student understanding.

  8. Skills for Success Activities

    We worked with instructors to build a collection of activities on the essential skills needed for psychology students, so that you don’t need to spend precious lecture time on student preparedness. Topics include How to Read a Syllabus, Time Management, Note Taking, APA Style Citations, and How to Read a Research Paper.

  9. Concept Practice

    Includes dozens of these dynamic, interactive mini-tutorials that teach and reinforce the course’s foundational ideas. Each of these brief activities (only 5 minutes to complete) addresses one or two key concepts in a consistent format: review, practice, quiz, and conclusion.
