Here’s what California students are saying about their zyBooks experience:

“I found zyBooks one of the best source[s] for online class. Very useful information about each topic easy to remember and read . I wish all my professors use[d a] zyBook.”

Mohamad Amin MAmerican River College

“zyBooks is an easy to navigate platform. This is my first time using it and I have nothing but positive thoughts on it.”

Lucyann LSan Diego Miramar College

“It really showed me great examples and gave challenge questions that kept me on track. The labs were just the right amount of difficulty, and had me on my toes.”

Jasmine NDe Anza College

“Zybooks is really helpful in aiding me understand what is going wrong when I’m coding. I get in-depth explanations as to how I can code in java as efficiently as possible. If I make a mistake I can identify it and correct much faster thanks to Zybooks.”

Kayvaun KSan Francisco State University

“Overall, I am very satisfied with zyBooks. The visuals help me understand the code better as it shows specifically what the compiler is looking for at each given moment. Explanations are well stated with sources most of the time in case you want to read more.”

Computer Science StudentLos Angeles Pierce College

“The mix of interactive practice problems with the relatively concise text makes zyBooks a pretty effective learning tool.”

Computer Science StudentBakersfield College
