Review

As I say to my students “it’s a keeper”! The textbook and all support material are invaluable to effective training overall professional skills in preparing students for the realities of the workforce.

I think the variety of information is the biggest strength as there is a lot of activities and assignments for all students. The materials were very well produced.
