For Classroom Discussion," and "Prompts for Critical Thinking: It’s Your Turn!". Finally, unique end-of-chapter Tableau®-based problems help students become formidable data-driven decision makers. AUDITING can be paired with MindTap digital resources, which offer an interactive ebook as well as engaging, high-impact cases to teach data-driven decision making skills.
