Reviews
The Robertson text has helped me to be successful in achieving my course goals because it gave me the tools to immediately walk in and provide comprehensive lectures and learner-centered activities. My students have responded well to the case studies and relevant information. The content kept my attention and expanded my knowledge about a subject I thought I knew.
