A good text book, a competent teacher, and (most important) hard work by the student aid the learning process. Human development by Diane Papalia and Sally Olds is a good text, and the Study Guide with Readings is a tool to help you with your part of the learning process. When used conscientiously, the Study Guide with Readings should greatly increase your chances of success in the course. Each chapter of the Study Guide with Readings contains a Chapter Outline, an Integrator, and Overview, Learning Objectives, Self-Tests, Practice Exercises, and a Chapter Reading. Answers to the Self-Tests and Practice Exercise are found at the back of the book.
