Teachers Guide

Post by KentuckyFried » Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:13 am

Has anyone ever used a teachers guide as a supplement? If so, how would you evaluate their effectiveness?

Thanks

wtf would this even be? If such a thing exists, I guarantee it won't be terribly useful.

I was wondering about this too. I saw "teacher guides" for all the casebooks I bought on Amazon for next semester. Has anyone looked at one?

I got one free by mistake (wrong item sent, and was told to keep it when they sent the correct one) for a class on Religion and the State. It wasn't utterly devoid of useful information, but any infomration that was minimally useful (basically some digests of the case) would have been done better by a pure book of commercial briefs. The discussion topics outlined in the book simply didn't match up with what my professor focused on, so that part of the book was not useful to me at all.

Your money is much better spent elsewhere.
