“MindTap gave me so many more opportunities to engage with the material. I love how much easier it made my studying; instead of stressing out about what material was important, I could just look at the flashcards and skim the online chapters. It also forced me to stay on task with the weekly quizzes. As a competitive person, I also liked seeing my engagement level and trying to improve it week by week.” Student, Savannah Shuster University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
