Carioti's Personal Finance textbook delivers key content on critical components of one's personal finance journey in a logically present/easy to understand format. Based on my 10+years of postsecondary experience teaching this course, I feel as though the students would easily relate to the presented content.
It is actually the best Personal Finance textbook I've seen. I don't even use a textbook anymore because I couldn't find one that I felt included all the topics I review in my class and that was easy to read for students. I think that students will find it an interesting read.
"Student performance after implementing Vantage is incredible...this is a really tangible way to see that."
"This is the smoothest student onboarding process I have ever experienced. Everything is syncing and the students were able to figure things out with almost no help from me."
This is an excellent introductory personal finance text. It meets students on an emotional level—dealing with that first before moving on to a task orientation.
"I am really excited to have tools that help motivate students to actually do the reading..."
"My learners really enjoyed the SAGE Vantage experience. Many of them said it forced them to read, which aided in their comprehension…The feedback I received is that they all really enjoyed the interactive nature of the program, as well as the [number] of activities..."
This book breaks complex topics down into manageable steps that students can integrate into their own financial planning. Students will enjoy the hands-on approach this book provides.
This a very good Personal Finance text. The material includes current thinking. There was a good bit of discussion about cryptocurrencies. Students need to be aware of these types of investments with a good amount of warning.
"I think that Vantage [is] an ideal system that will promote engagement of students."
