Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Contemporary Topics 3: Academic and Note-Taking Skills (Advanced) DVD
David Beglar · 2009
50/100
👎 Skip It
A filmed lecture-and-discussion DVD component meant to pair with a printed textbook -- useful in an ESL classroom but incomplete and dated on its own. Not something to point general readers toward.
