About this title

Review:

"A program like MindTap helps me with time management because everything is in one place. So I?go through all the planning for a course using MindTap and I get it all there, it's ready to go and?all, I have everything set up so everything is graded automatically so I can use my time during the semester to engage with students and I don't have to waste my time grading papers." "Almost across the board, students using MindTap improved on the main learning objectives of the class ...I've never seen any results like this." "One of the best features of analytics is being able to identify those students that are at risk very early on in an academic course and to provide them with the support and tools that they need... and help those students overcome those challenges and help them become successful." ..".having the flexibility of doing my assignment whenever and however I want makes it a lot easier for me."
