Author created videos, integrating concept activities with instructor guide
Learning objectives - each major section begins with Learning Objectives to help organize and focus students' attention on the material
Summary and Questions - each major section concludes with a review, section summary, and questions, spanning several levels of Bloom's taxonomy
Margin Notes - major points are summarized as margin notes throughout the text, providing a running outline of the material
Illustrations and Micrographs - An illustration program of full-color art and micrographs have been developed to complement and reinforce the text
Key Experiment and Molecular Medicine Essays - designed to provide students with a sense of both the experimental basis of cell and molecular biology and its application to modern medicine. These can also be used for student discussion.
Data Analysis Problems present data from original research papers, with questions that engage students in the analysis of experimental methods. These provide material for discussion and opportunities for active learning
FYI's - Sidebars that provide descriptive highlights of points of interest.
