Reviews
I think this is the best book I have ever used, and here are the reasons why: 1. Easy to use for ESL students and students with special needs. 2. Each page isn't overwhelming; students are not beaten before they start the course. 3. Self-test, and problems that give the answers (self-help). 4. Test banks for the instructor. 5. Excel problems.
-I especially like the easy to follow, step-by-step approach with examples. The variety of reinforcement exercises at the end of the chapter (Assignments) provides the extra reinforcement necessary to instill the concepts.- -I think this is the best book I have ever used, and here are the reasons why: 1.
