Testimonials

	What students are saying about GEN courses "This is the single best tool I have ever seen for academic use, and I have been exposed to many by my parents. I am buying chemistry CD-ROMs for my brother's birthday present." "[Understanding Mass Media] was enlightening in that it made me aware of a great many issues about mass media as well as the problems the industry currently faces. The textbook and CD Rom were excellent resources." "I highly recommend this course [Calculus], especially good for classes with abstract or complicated events or concepts." "I think this course, [Alexander The Great and The Greek World] was very helpful and was interesting. I am a visual person and it made it easier to understand and remember facts and info." What instructors are saying about GEN courses "GEN's instructional design maximized the use of delivery technologies to reach students who might not have been reachable otherwise, while providing a high degree of convenience. The interactive exercises were useful for inducing participation and clarifying terminology for students. The [U.S. History II] course's production values were exceptional. The modular design and the accompanying visuals aided students in understanding complex, often inter-related, concepts. Facilitating this class was a great learning experience for me, as well as my students. I believe it made us all better consumers of information and more capable of thinking critically."
