This OER is not a complete resource for an introductory college personal growth course. Many topics outlined on our PERG 120 syllabus were not represented such as learning styles and personality and career assessments were not discussed. The chapters were relatively short with links to external resources and reading and videos linked for further learning. Some short assessments and activities are sprinkled throughout the chapters. This book is not conveniently accessible through the online view option making students have to download the book to be able to read and access all the chapters. It was challenging navigating this book as the layout of images and text were not cohesive or very engaging to look at. Overall, this text has potential but would not be my first choice for an OER textbook in college success.
