Title: A wide-ranging overview of methods and development for CBI Review: Seen from the point fo view of a non-expert readers, and comparing with <10 other books on similar subjects, the book looks quite good. It covers most of the basic types of learning activities (tutorials, drills, simulations, educational games and tests), plus a detailled overview on more organisational issues (analysis, design, ...), some chapters on technology for implementation of CBI as well as more advanced topics as instructional modelling, computer managed instruction and AI-techniques. Good reading, no hyper-specialised vocabulary. Happy that my holiday in canada brought me back this good reading to Flanders (Belgiium/Europe). Coming from an IT background (engineering & computing), it gives some goods clues on project management for development of CBI products. Les solid on educational/didactic theories.Hesitating between 3 and 4 stars (don't feedl myself sufficiently qualified to give higher scores). Is this product review negative?

Title: disappointed Review: For an expensive brand, this toaster is a big disappointment. I received it as a gift last xmas and it has been a year of half-burned toast and poorly cooked food. When i put bread in to toast I have to stand at the machine and watch to frequently turn the bread over and over. If I don't do this then one side turns out black and one side is still soft bread. Also, the toaster fills up with condensation every time I use it unless i leave the door open. Overall a disappointment given the brand name and cost. Is this product review negative?

Answer: Yes


Title: Useless, redundant, and badly edited Review: Ms. Rubin's book is shamelessly self-indulgent and just plain pointless. I had hoped to get some solid ideas about working for myself and realized that this book was pretty much useless for anyone who doesn't have Ms. Rubin's golden parachute. Not all of us have the option of asking our former employer to give us a bailout. Although she repeatedly insisted that she had to start from ground zero because she was going into a new field, it was very obvious her contacts from her former career came in oh-so-handy. She couched the one or two good points she had in endless poorly-edited prose (I couldn't even make sense of some of the sentences), randonly placed quotes, and pointless "insights". Don't waste your time.Ms. Rubin's REAL secret to soloing is convincing people to pay money to read her mediocrity. Is this product review negative?
