What users are saying…“We use the Multicolumn Journal from South-Western with

the Online Working Papers. I have been very happy both

with the text and the working papers. This system has

allowed me to pinpoint exactly what students are doing

wrong, and I have the time to work one-on-one with them to

assist them in understanding. I cannot say enough about

how this system has improved my instruction.” Kathy H. Business Education Teacher, Wisconsin
