Industry Reviews

"This is a wonderful textbook for its price, and it is one that I have marked up religiously and will be revisiting throughout the rest of my career as a professor. I have already charted out a plan of how to successfully implement effective academic feedback in all of my courses for each major and minor assignment. I challenge you to do the same as you reevaluate how to best help students learn in any setting."
