I like the layout of the book and appreciate the large size. It is difficult to find plan books with more than six periods. I wish the record book didn't need to be purchased separately. I don't know a teacher who wants separate books, so combining them is preferable. I hate that plan books contain a bunch of extra, useless pages that no one ever uses. It's wasteful. This could ne improved by adding a thicker cover and lowing the dorky design. I like the spiral binding.
