Preface
Dear Reader, In today’s changing academia and society,
professional needs and personal limitations sometime collide,
leading to mediocre job performance or often unhappy days.

We at Academic Exchange Quarterly (AEQ) are unable to help you with
both. But happily this journal, AEQ 3500+ published authors, can assist
you with the first one: professional needs or poor job performance. Just
check out this Sound Instruction Books (SIB) volume ( or any other of the
remaining ten) and you will find a treasury of ideas and methods on
effective instruction and learning in all subjects and levels. Be sure to
check also Academic Exchange Quarterly all nineteen volumes.

Practical, powerful, and an authoritative resource are words used by many
subscribers to define AEQ. Indeed, Google Scholar Metrics (with H-Index
rating 5 & 6) reiterates Academic Exchange Quarterly strong impact
factor. Especially when one considers the fact that AEQ is a subscription
based print-journal, and not OA online publication.

To be sure we want to continue uphold high standards while publishing a
useful instruction and learning resource. We look forward to your
continuing support as a
-- subscriber to Academic Exchange Quarteerly print edition
-- buyer of single AEQ and SIB publicattions at a college bookstore
-- reader of AEQ at a college library.
-- teacher using AEQ or SIB in the cclassroom
