Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • MASTERY LEARNING PROBLEMS: Mastery learning problems contain questions associated with specific concepts or skills. With these unique problems, the chemistry, the wording of the questions, and the numbers change to ensure student mastery. This 3-way randomization of problems allows students to practice and understand the underlying chemical concepts before they gain mastery and move on.
  • MULTIMEDIA ACTIVITIES: Tutorials, Simulations, and Visual Exercises are interactive problems designed to promote conceptual understanding and support problem-solving skills.
  • PRACTICE PROBLEMS: End-of-chapter problems that match the textbook are available in OWLv2. These problems are randomized and include detailed feedback with solutions to help students prepare for exams.
  • MINDTAP READER EBOOK: OWLv2 offers access to a mobile-compatible ebook, which has all the textbook content, plus multimedia and note-taking capabilities.
  • ADAPTIVE REVIEW MODULES: Select courses include Quick Prep, which helps students review fundamental skills and concepts at the start of the semester, as well as Adaptive Study Plans, that personalize learning for students.
