Student & Instructor Reviews California Institutions Using zyBooks

Here’s what Community College students and instructors are saying about their zyBooks experience:

“Zybooks had great animations that helped me visualize certain topics with ease. Topics with loop iterations, permutations, recursion were made easy.”

StudentAmerican River College

“Zybooks helps me stay engaged in the course material without feeling the same dread I would have from just reading a book.”

StudentBakersfield College

“I have never used zyBooks before and was a bit hesitant, because I usually like using textbooks over computer work/internet work such as WebAssign and Pearson Mastering, but I tried it and ended up loving how interactive it is. It actually really helped me in my computer programming class and helped me to understand confusing and difficult concepts which were hard for me to grasp in class. I really am not just saying this, but I hope to be able to use zybooks in my future computer programming classes!”

StudentLos Angeles Pierce College

“After switching to zyBooks in one of my classes I found my students to be more engaged in learning. The interactive activities and visualization help students understand the material faster. This enabled me to spend less time explaining basic concepts and more time teaching more challenging topics and solving exercises to enable students to thoroughly master course content. I was also able to quickly identify those who need extra help.”
