"I love the presentation. I really like the 'Talk Risk and Reward' pieces. I think they not only provoke thought and conversation between peers, but they allow students to process their self-talk and roots to why they do what they do. I like the fact that the textbook photos and icons are up-to-date with the newest technology and trends. I also appreciate the diversity of the students in pictures and highlighted in the cases." --Fatina LaMar-Taylor, Prince George's Community College

"Good topic selection--relevant; easy to read and well researched." --Peg Adams, Northern Kentucky University

"Assessing risks and rewards is integral to forging success; in life, in degree completion, and in related opportunities (for example seeking scholarships, internships, job openings). Feeling comfortable with the risk and reward assessment process is a strong message regarding decision-making, making needed behavioral changes, assessing choices and alternative ways of thinking, and ultimately, 'thinking big' using visioning and dreaming." --Trish Joyce, Broward College

"It is in the process of productive struggle, deliberate practice, and making explicit connections that we can realize that educational risk-taking is the only way to assure that every option for our future remains open to us." --Dede deLaughter, Gainesville State College
