Student Supplements
MindTap™
Students who purchase the MindTap product will enjoy a number of innovative features
designed to enhance their learning experience. The e-book has been enriched with inter-
active figures and animated videos that increase comprehension of the most challenging
topics, and the insightful video cases are embedded directly into the end-of-chapter
materials. At the beginning of each chapter, students will be asked to take a self-assessment
questionnaire that introduces an important topic and shows how it relates to students’
current experience. Students will also have ready access to the assignments chosen by the
instructor, which may include test-prep quizzes, homework questions, Write Experience
essay-writing practice, and experiential exercises (role-play activities and group project
activities).
New to this edition, the role-play activities give students opportunities to practice
their managerial and communication skills in an online, real-time environment, while
the group project activities encourage them to take a modern approach to applying key
concepts using a digital collaborative workspace. By giving them opportunities to collab-
orate online, apply course concepts, and create solutions to realistic management
problems, all of these learning activities are designed to enable students to Engage,
Connect, Perform, and Lead—in short, to learn to “Think and Act Like Managers,” with
demonstrable skills in critical thinking, analysis, and much more.
Augmenting the entire MindTap experience, robust diagnostic tools powered by
Knewton provide students with feedback and personalized study plans based on actual
assigned coursework rather than a separate set of quizzes. Using recommendations
provided by Knewton, students can focus their efforts on the most important concepts
they need to learn at that moment in time, as well as more effectively prepare for
exams. Furthermore, Knewton gives instructors the ability to focus class time on the
most relevant material and effectively assist struggling students. Using the MindTap
Progress App, instructors can track student proficiency, which will allow them to quickly
react to where students are in their learning and make the best use of class time. This
creates even more opportunities to train students to “Think and Act Like Managers.
