4 June 2021
NEW AND UPDATED REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS ILLUMINATE KEY CONCEPTS IN A COHESIVE LEARNING PACKAGE
A variety of features seamlessly blend core concepts with fascinating real-life scenarios in every chapter: integrated case histories that highlight current global health issues; new coverage of disease outbreaks, including COVID-19; and updated IMPACT application boxes. Case Mysteries PowerPoint decks enable instructors to use class time to help students practise problem-solving like a clinician. The Interactive Instructor’s Guide maps all of the cases to ASM guidelines and provides suggestions for using the Case Mysteries PowerPoints in class in addition to active learning content that can be delivered in the classroom or online.
READABLE EXPLANATIONS AND POWERFUL PEDAGOGY THAT MAKE CHALLENGING CONCEPTS ACCESSIBLE
The Second Edition features clear, conversational writing that is easy for nonmajors to understand. Thorough but accessible explanations and frequent examples help students “see” challenging concepts. New Making Connections Tutorial Lessons help students understand difficult microbiology topics by providing them with low-stakes practice that breaks down the main topic into the individual concepts that students need to understand in order to master the main topic. Consistent in-text pedagogy, including learning outcomes, summaries and thought-provoking questions, helps students learn the microbiology they'll need as health professionals. InQuizitive and Smartwork provide meaningful practice with a variety of question types, including content that allows students to deeply explore core biological concepts and clinical scenarios.
POWERFUL DIGITAL ASSESSMENT AND ACTIVE LEARNING TOOLS SUPPORT INSTRUCTOR TEACHING GOALS AND HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED
InQuizitive, Smartwork and the Interactive Instructors Guide provide a consistent, integrated learning system that is thoroughly linked with core content in the text. InQuizitive, designed for pre-class formative learning, helps students master concepts through a variety of question types presented in an interactive, engaging format and the Second Edition includes a separate module focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. An Interactive Instructor’s Guide created by master teachers provides a host of class-time active learning resources for all types of learning environments. Included are questions that can be delivered with Squarecap classroom response technology and teaching resources to be used in conjunction with the COVID-19 InQuizitive module. The popular Infectious Disease Flashcards are now available as an online study tool available from the Digital Landing Page. Smartwork can be used in a variety of ways, including as summative assessment. It features new Making Connections Tutorial Lessons in addition to an array of questions that address critical thinking, case histories and animations—all featuring answer-specific feedback and explanations.
