The applications within the chapters help students to immediately apply the skills. The post-assessment downplays the 'chapter quiz' concept and helps students individualize and internalize what they have just learned. The best thing about the activities is that they are engaging; they require the students to apply the skills that they are learning to their own life and academic situation. Elvira Johnson, Central Piedmont Community College Steve speaks directly to the students and one gets the feeling that he really cares about their success. He is encouraging but also manages to convey how important it is for the student to take responsibility for their actions and to make wise choices. He challenges them to ask and answer important questions and gets them involved in the process by providing many opportunities to reflect on their behaviors. Constance Egelman, Nassau Community College
