P.O.W.E.R. Tools for Instructors and Students

The same philosophy and goals that guided the writing ofP.O.W.E.R. Learning: Strategies for Success in College and Life have informed the development of acomprehensive, first-rate set of teaching aids. Through a series of focus groups, questionnaires, and surveys, we asked instructors what they needed to optimize their courses. We also reviewed what other publishers provided in the way of teaching aids to make sure that the ancillary materials accompanyingP.O.W.E.R. Learning would meet and exceed the level of support to which instructors are accustomed. We are confident that whether you are an instructor with long experience or one who is new to the course, this book's instructional package will provide practical guidance that will enhance instruction inside the classroom and maximize your time outside of the classroom.
