Reviews
I'm convinced that the higher course ratings and grades were, in large part, a result of students' engagement. It was an unmitigated success. MindTap was very useful - it was easy to follow and everything was right there. MindTap's greatest strengths are the progress tracking and the ability to add [your own] materials that are gradable. Almost across the board, students using MindTap improved on the main learning objectives of the class ...I've never seen any results like this.
