Essentials of Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences (MindTap Course List)

Product Description

Updated with the latest research, Gravetter/Wallnau/Forzano/Witnauer’s ESSENTIALS OF STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, 10th Edition delivers straightforward instruction, hands-on learning tools and real-world examples to help you go beyond memorizing formulas to truly understanding the hows and whys of statistics. Giving extra focus to the topics students typically struggle with most, the authors take time to fully explain statistical concepts. Integrated applications reinforce concepts, offering further support to ensure that even those with a weak background in mathematics can fully grasp statistics. The authors also illustrate how an understanding of statistical procedures will help you comprehend published findings — ultimately leading you to become a savvy consumer of information. Also available, the MindTap digital learning solution helps you learn on your own terms.

Review

�There was a VERY strong correlation between students who stayed on the assigned course schedule and students who had success in the course.�

�I had great support from Cengage. I haven�t had the same level of support with other companies I�ve used. Just today, my Learning Consultant showed me how to insert the Ted Talks I use in my class into the eBook� It�s time to think about changing my other courses to Cengage and MindTap.�

�Students have busy lives outside of class, so it�s hard for them to find time to keep learning. With many features accessible by smartphone, MindTap exposes them to course content so that they come to class better prepared.�

�Overall, MindTap is a great, user- friendly system. It frees up time and resources for other things. Since students have already had some engagement with the material prior to our first class discussion of each chapter, class discussions are more interactive. This takes some of the teaching pressure off of instructors and allows more time for activities, demonstrations, and supplemental material to be shared.�
