Personalize learning with Mastering A&P Mastering ™ A&P is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to engage students and improve results. Instructors ensure that students arrive in lab ready to learn by assigning content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics™. Students can further master concepts after class through assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts. Pre-Lab Exercises appear on the first page of each exercise and are assignable in Mastering A&P. These short, easily gradable quizzes help ensure that students read the prep material before coming to lab so they can focus on the activity during lab time.  Dynamic Study Modules now enable instructors to select which questions to assign to students. Post-Lab Questions add to the large bank of assessment questions for every lab exercise, and include wrong-answer feedback. (10 Pre-lab Questions and 10 Post-lab Questions per lab exercise) NEW! 10 Cat Dissection Videos are targeted tolabs with limited lab time that rely on cats. The videos are assignable for pre or post-lab work in Mastering A&P and include hints and wrong-answer feedback. The videos without questions are also available in the Study Area of Mastering A&P. Video topics cover: Superficial muscles of the trunk, dorsal view Deep muscles of the trunk, dorsal view Posterior muscles of the hip and thigh Brachial plexus Digestive structures of the head, muscles and salivary glands Peritoneum and mesenteries of the abdomen Vessels of the thorax, arteries, and veins Male urogenital anatomy Female urogenital anatomy Assignments from this lab manual are now integrated into the Item Library for Visual Anatomy & Physiology 3e. Instructors access these by selecting the Lab Manual from the book/source drop-down menu in the Visual A&P, 3e Item Library, making it easy to access lab and lecture assignments within the same course – all with only one Mastering A&P code. The Mastering A&P Study Area features new, mobile-friendly navigation and offers students additional pre- and post-lab quizzes, anatomy animations, bone & dissection videos, and more virtual lab study tools.  eText 2.0 now optimized for mobile eText 2.0 mobile app offers offline access and can be downloaded for most iOS and Android phones/tablets from the Apple App Store or Google Play Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media Accessible (screen-reader ready) Configurable reading settings, including resizable type and night reading mode Instructor and student note-taking, highlighting, bookmarking, and search Learning Catalytics™ helps instructors generate class discussion, adapt lessons to students’ needs, and promote peer-to-peer learning using real-time analytics. As a student response tool, Learning Catalytics uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more interactive tasks and to practice critical thinking skills.  Real-time data allows instructors to immediately respond when learners are struggling and to quickly assign students into groups for optimal class discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning. Instructors can upload a full PowerPoint® deck for easy creation of slide questions. Team names are no longer case sensitive.    About the Book Pre-Lab Quizzes appear on the first page of each exercise and are assignable in Mastering ™ A&P. These short, easily gradable quizzes allow students to check their knowledge of the content and lab procedure. This encourages them to read the material before coming to lab so that they can focus on the activity during lab time. Before You Move On… Looking Back, Looking Forward ends each exercise by summarizing key takeaway points and pointing out how those concepts will inform the next topic, prompting students to appreciate how topics build on one another. Integrated Mastering A&P prompts direct students to online quizzes, animations, and videos in Mastering A&P to help them prepare for lab and review key lab material.  Custom Solutions Pearson Collections allows instructors to quickly and easily select individual activities to create a lab manual that’s specific to their course. They can also add labs and/or other material to hone the lab manual to items they have available in their lab.
