This is the access card only and does not include a textbook. LaunchPad, our online course space, includes the ACES student self-assessment, and combines the interactive e-Book with high-quality multimedia content and video tools, a gradebook that offers a window into your students' performance-- individually and as a group—and more. Use LaunchPad on its own or integrate it with your school’s learning management system so your class is always on the same page. ACES—the Academic and Career Excellence System, gives students, instructors, and administrators the data they need to succeed. Starting on the first day of class, Connections helps students develop a thoughtful, strengths-based understanding of themselves through ACES, the Academic and Career Excellence System, an online self-assessment. Students take ACES at the start of their college success course to get a snapshot of their attitudes, skills, habits, and opportunities for improvement. Throughout the book, students have the opportunity to reflect on their ACES results. Instructors can use ACES data to drive conversations in and outside the classroom while administrators can use it to learn about their students and assess and allocate resources in a more in-depth and comprehensive way than ever before. ACES is available within LaunchPad for Connections.If you are looking for a textbook, search ISBN: 9781457628405
