Recent Product Reviews:
Excellent book. Good content. However, you need to remove the DEI content, WOKE content on identity, and anything on radical theory. I skipped over that material because it is not well supported by research, harmful, and not acceptable.
Dr Elizabeth Talbot, Social Work Dept, Wright State Univ - Dayton
"This is the smoothest student onboarding process I have ever experienced. Everything is syncing and the students were able to figure things out with almost no help from me."
Echo Leaver, Instructor, Salisbury University
"With Vantage, I set up my course in under 10 minutes, which is unheard of...I love Vantage!"
Karin Machluf, Instructor, Penn State Scranton
