I so appreciate the level of support you and your team continue to provide. Just the other day, I was singing the praises of Great River Learning to a colleague. You and your company far exceed any other publisher I’ve worked with in terms of customer service and student support.
Developing and using the ebook has changed my teaching. The comments on end of semester evals say that students are engaging with and using the book. Previous comments about traditional texts said things like "not necessary to buy text" or "never used book".
GRL has been a great company to work with in putting this project together. They shared my vision to offer a text to a generation of digital natives by embracing their strengths, rather than working against them.
I enjoyed going through the information more than any other textbook. It was engaging and gave me the perfect opportunity to absorb and relate the information to my own experience. I am so looking forward to the rest of this course! I have had a tough time finding academic motivation; this was the first time I started an assignment and got excited about it in quite some time.
It was definitively a challenge but so worth it, because it forced me to rethink the way I was presenting some of the material to my students in class. Lecturing and writing are completely different! It is a very rewarding experience.
This was honestly the first time since I went to college that I have read every assigned chapter. There was just a lot of real world stuff in the book. Stuff that I need to know when I graduate."
