Summary
General Chemistry,8/e, Media Enhanced Edition provides instructors the latest technology for their courses. Created to meet the rapidly changing instructional needs of General Chemistry professors, this edition includes an enhanced technology program that reinforces the approach of the text and updated information within the text to help students and instructors use these resources effectively. The Media Enhanced Edition provides access to assessment, tutoring, and presentation materials--including online homework, video lessons from Thinkwell, and a multimedia eBook--through Eduspace, Houghton Mifflin's Online Learning Tool. These resources make learning more dynamic and course planning, presentation, and management more intuitive. Known for its carefully developed, thoroughly integrated approach to problem solving, this market-leading text emphasizes the conceptual understanding and visualization skills essential for first-year chemistry and science majors.General Chemistry,8/e, Media Enhanced Edition retains the hallmark pedagogical features ofGeneral Chemistry,8/e, and expands upon the conceptual focus and art program through new interactive tutorials and animations. New!The updated Eduspace course offers 300 additional end-of-chapter problems; enhanced animations; a new multimedia eBook; and over 50 hours of video lessons from Thinkwell as well as SMARTHINKING live online tutoring. New!The Online Study Center Media Guide provides passkey access to premium student resources available on the student web site. The enhance Online Study Center features new Visualizations, interactive tutorials, video lessons from Thinkwell, electronic flashcards, and ACE practice tests to help students review and practice difficult concepts. The Media Integration Guide for Instructors includes several user-friendly supplements designed to make class preparation, presentation, and course management more efficient and effective: HM Testing CD; HM ClassPresent CD with animations and videos; Online Teaching Center access; and information about Eduspace (powered by Blackboard). New!HM Testing (powered by Diploma) now has over 2,200 questions--500 of them are algorithmically generated. All questions are tagged with question format, level of difficulty, and topic for ease-of-use in question selection/test construction. In order to reinforce major chemical concepts, the authors present a proven six-part approach to problem solving that includesExample, Problem Strategy, Solution, Answer Check, Exercise,and correspondingEnd-of-Chapter Problems,many of which are presented in matched pairs.
