Using Learning in learning courses

I have used the Learning text by Charles A. Catania for many years now in undergraduate as well as graduate Principles of Learning courses. I find the text an excellent source for teaching students the technical terminology and basic learning principles, and exposing them to important studies in the field. The text is very clearly written and absolutely informative. The text includes many research studies that the learning student must be familiar with in a clear and comprehensive fashion. These studies and their context are described very clearly, providing the reader with an excellent exposure the basic findings and principles in the field. The glossary in the back of the book is tremendously helpful in developing an understanding of the terminology. This textbook is, in my opinion, an essential must have for any student in the field of Learning.
