Testimonials

"Being able to assign the reading certificates as a way to ensure that students are actually reading the textbook is so helpful. My students are really enjoying how interactive and up to date the textbook is, which is really amazing!"
-Kent State Instructor
“I noticed students use more terminology from the text which shows me they are reading. In the discussion or prompts, they also are trying to apply and connect theories in particular. I have been pleased as it makes the discussions more engaging and meaningful. Prior, it felt like students would rely on lived experiences and now they have some tools/ resources to connect those experiences to the course. ”
-Broward College Instructor
“I had an amazing experience with the SY textbook. I truly think that it has made the biggest difference in my sociology course; I think if I had had any other textbook, I would not have liked my sociology course as much. SY is so much more approachable to students than other textbooks. It is not boring, dense, and difficult to understand but rather breaks down the sociological concepts in a way that a student can understand. ”
-Student User
“It is perfect for an introductory course like this one because it does not assume that we know terms and concepts already. My roommate takes this class too and her first language is not English, but I believe we understand the course at the same level thanks to the textbook. It also provides a natural gateway for the professor’s lectures in class, while I feel that professors teaching with another textbook often have to force a connection between the textbook and class. Overall, the SY textbook might be the best textbook I’ve ever had, speaking from a student perspective. ”
-Student User
“The topics are interesting, it is so easy to follow, and I believe that this is one of the most fun textbooks I have ever gotten to use. I enjoy this class and this textbook.”
