☛ From Professors:
"I think online learning should push a lot of colleges to use such materials. This is invaluable material for the learning centers." -Eric
"Jane and Tom are trying to solve what I consider to be the single biggest problem in math education. I can't say enough good things about the work that they are doing." -Sharon
"I hope that many colleges decide to use Way to Succeed as part of their freshmen STEM courses. This seems like a good way to address these "novice learner" issues that so many people need when they get to college." -Wayne
"I really like how this program focuses on how the students can help themselves learn in a college class." -Gerald
"Oh yeah, it was super easy to set up! I'm excited to use it this semester! Thank you!!" -Rebeka
