  • The "Study It" module for each chapter includes A+ Test Prep, a student-powered practice exam tool that allows them to tailor practice tests to fit their needs, and receive immediate feedback and links back to the material they need to review.
  • You Make the Decision mini-simulation activities build critical thinking and decision-making skills by challenging students to use what they know about concepts and theories in the context of a scenario as it unfolds. Throughout the scenario, the student would be provided with information and subsequently faced with decisions. The scenario can change dynamically based on the decisions the students make throughout the short simulation, resulting in different end points that showcase the consequences of the decisions made along the way.
