In addition, each chapter's How Would You Vote? question invites students to weigh in on a current issue and deepen their understanding through online exercises. Students will find relevant materials cross referenced from chapter to chapter, reinforcing how biological concepts build on one another throughout the book.The text's carefully integrated instructor and student resources - ThomsonNOW' and JoinIn' on TurningPoint[registered] - help you assess your students and make learning more interactive.For instructors, the PowerLecture multimedia manager saves time on lecture prep - with one DVD - by integrating all relevant resources in each chapter's Microsoft PowerPoint lecture, so there's no more hassling with multiple media files.
