Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • BIG PICTURE VIDEOS: 15 brand new conceptual videos for most chapters, narrated by textbook author Nivaldo Tro, depict the overall themes and key concepts in the textbook via animations with associated media quiz questions.
  • ENHANCED ADAPTIVE STUDY PLAN: Now featuring questions more tailored to the text, the adaptive study plan provides a summary of chapter topics and contains quiz questions, along with remediation activities, videos, and eBook links.
  • 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: Interactive 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 E-BOOK: OWLv2 offers access to a mobile-compatible ebook, which has all the textbook content, plus multimedia and note-taking capabilities.
