P.O.W.E.R. Learning

Prepare, Organize, Work, Evaluate, and Rethink -- that's what P.O.W.E.R. stands for, and that's exactly how this text was developed as well. Forged by the most extensive pre-publication development program of any text available for the first-year college experience course -- involving hundreds of instructors and students -- this text offers exciting new framework that maximizes students' potential for success in college and in life. Using the simple, class-tested principles of the P.O.W.E.R system, students gain a sense of mastery and achievement as they move through the text, and with the growth of their confidence comes the increased intellectual enthusiasm and personal discipline needed for them to excel.
