Reviews
I am very impressed with the changes to this textbook. It is more engaging and offers a large variety of features to enhance the classroom experience. All of the updates to design and features improve the quality of the textbook and can improve the quality of the pedagogy and student learning., I find this textbook to be an excellent choice for my students. My students come to me usually lacking in study skills. The learning objectives, key terms, and learning checks provide me with an effective way to focus their reading.
