Summary: Book review - Curriculum Improvement by Doll
Review: I remember reading information in my undergraduate program about curriculum and I found it very hard to understand as well as difficult to follow. However, this was not the case for Curriculum improvement. This text provided ways to improve the curriculum of a school with information and situations that are relevant to problem-areas in education. I found the examples in the text to be very useful and beneficial. As times are changing, so is the curriculum. Therefore, the importance to improve curriculum becomes more evident and required. I would strongly recommend students in their undergraduate and postgraduate studies to purchase this book. I know that I will be able to use it in curriculum planning in the future.

Summary: Helpful and Informative...
Review: This text is full of helpful information, which I used in my Master's program. Chapters are structured and logical, the writing is clear and easy to follow. One of the most helpful items in the book are the inclusion of "situations" that provide true-to-life examples. These "situations" along with the chapter questions allow the reader an in-depth study and understanding of the material. I would recommend this text for anyone interested in improving their curriculum in the classroom or searching for fresh ideas.
