This courseware evaluation rates the "Personal Consumerism" program developed by Aquarius People Materials. (The eight-program series--not contained in this document--includes understanding labels, consumer help, consumer fraud, consumer law, comparative shopping, consumerism and you, reading an advertisement, and tips on buying a used car.) Part A describes the program in terms of subject area (consumer education), and hardware requirements (Apple II, IBM PC, JR, TRS 80 III); indicates its suitability for use with handicapped and disadvantaged students, grades 7-adult, with a reading level of grades 3-5; lists accompanying materials (teacher's guide); and estimates time for use (one hour). Availability information includes cost ($29.95 each), policies, and contact address. Part B contains the evaluation criteria in eight categories; reviewer ratings appear as yes, somewhat, no, and not applicable, with explanatory comments. Part C summarizes the evaluation. Strengths of this program are ease of reading, good remediation, and positive reinforcement. Weaknesses include inconsistency in presentation, some unclear directions, and no student evaluation. Summary ratings in the eight categories include the following: subject matter, technical presentation, student interaction, and program interaction--yes; student evaluation and documentation--somewhat; work behaviors and application programs--not applicable. The courseware is recommended for use in a life skills curriculum. (SK)
