Complete Digital Textbook Readings and InQuizitive
Complete Digital Textbook Readings and InQuizitive
Our textbook is the 2nd edition of Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective by Gross, Schmader, Hard, & Anderson. This is an interactive e-book with figures that come to life and built-in quizzing to help you check your understanding and learn concepts more deeply. InQuizitive is a quizzing platform that accompanies the book and is designed to help encourage students' self-testing.
Exams will test material from both lectures and the textbook, including some content that is covered ONLY in the textbook. So keeping up with reading is important to student success in this course.
The textbook is least expensive to purchase directly from the publisher. The only required material for this course is the e-book, which costs $49.95 through the publisher website. InQuizitive is a helpful platform for learning textbook content, so some students prefer to purchase access to it as well. The e-book and InQuizitive platform bundle costs $64.95 through the publisher website (or around $90 through the bookstore). However, purchasing InQuizitive is entirely optional and will not be graded. See more details below on how to access the book.
Please make sure to purchase the CORRECT textbook, which is only sold through the publisher or the Duke bookstore. This book is meant to be an interactive e-book and physical copies are only sold as an "add on" to the text to make sure you experience the book as it was intended (including with interactive questions that usually inspire questions on our actual exams). Please be aware that any other physical or .pdf copies you may find from other sources are illegal and likely to be the wrong edition of the text.
Your instructors are committed to ensuring that this course is financially accessible to all students.
We encourage students who qualify to take advantage of financial support for course materials available through the Duke LIFE office: https://dukelife.duke.edu/academic-support/course-materials-assistance/

You can set up access to the textbook through the course Canvas page. The total cost of the E-book and InQuizitive platform from the publisher are $64.95 (you do NOT need the version with ZAPS). When you go to open the book from Canvas, you can either click the button to enter a registration code (which you can get if you purchase the book through the Duke Bookstore or more cheaply through the W.W. Norton website), OR click the button to purchase access (which should take you to W.W. Norton’s website to get that registration code). There is also a free trial version if you are still deciding about the class.
InQuizitive is a helpful platform for ensuring you are learning textbook content. However, the InQuizitive quizzes will not be graded. If you prefer to purchase a version of the textbook WITHOUT InQuizitive, it is available through the publisher website for $49.95.
What are the ungraded InQuizitive quizzes?
What are the ungraded InQuizitive quizzes?
It is important to us that you get a feel for all that psychology has to offer, but there is only so much content that can be covered during lecture time. Although your textbook will overlap a lot with content covered in lecture, there is some interesting and important content in the textbook that we don’t have time to cover in class. To help you master this material on your own, each chapter includes InQuizitive quizzes that will allow you to test your understanding of the material. This will help you both learn the material and be more prepared for exams.
We encourage you to complete the InQuizitive quizzes soon after completing the readings. Recommended deadlines for InQuizitive quizzes are listed on the course calendar but are nearly always Wednesdays at 11:59pm Eastern Time.
If you are using InQuizitive, please access it through the course Canvas page to help us monitor whether and how often students are using the tool. You will always see a green check mark that says "Connected to LMS" when you are connected to our course.
When are readings and quizzes due?
When are readings and quizzes due?
To find your weekly reading assignments and quiz deadlines, navigate to the weekly lessons from the home page of the course Canvas website. Students may complete textbook readings either before or after the corresponding lecture — do what works best for you! The recommended due dates for quizzes are typically Wednesdays at 11:59pm Eastern Time unless otherwise noted. These deadlines are recommendations because InQuizitive is not formally graded.
Am I required to complete the interactive figures and check-your-understanding questions in the text?
Am I required to complete the interactive figures and check-your-understanding questions in the text?
We do not formally track whether you read each chapter of the book, so that means whether you complete the reading, interactive figures, and check-your-understanding questions does not affect your grade. However, you are responsible for material that is covered in the text and will need to do the reading to answer the weekly quizzes.
Additionally, we always recommend that students pay close attention to bolded key terms, interactive figures, and check-your-understanding questions, as we typically tie textbook-related exam questions to these.
