In particular, I thought the section on Locke and Newton and the Philosophies was very useful.""MindTap assignments are tied to different works of art, and take students to a virtual museum where they can zoom in. The flashcards are so much more dynamic than an image on a flat text. Students are so inundated with media that having a textbook with flat images doesnt do anything for them. When you can turn something 360 degrees and zoom in, you often get a better view than you would in real life.""I have taught with Janson and Stokstad as well. Gardner is hands down better."
