A. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-paced, Mechanics, Algorithmic,
Review, Tutorial)
Developed by George Staab and Brooks Breeden of The Ohio State University,
S.M.A.R.T. brings engineering mechanics to life through the development
of free-body and kinetic diagrams and the use of animation. The tutorial
also offers algorithmically generated quizzes that differ from many algorithmic
quiz banks by offering clearer graphics, suggested solutions, and by actively
engaging students in the learning process rather than offering only rote
problem solving. S.M.A.R.T. can also be used as a classroom presentation
tool and is ideal for online courses.
This website offers access to a vast array of premium online content to
fortify the learning and teaching experience. Student Center resources
include access to S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Paced, Mechanics, Algorithmic, Review,
Tutorial), multiple-choice quizzes, a guide for using computational programs,
the Statics and Dynamics Design Center, and Access Science (with 7100+ articles,
115,000 dictionary terms, and hundreds of research updates - in all areas
of science and technology - updated daily). Password-protected Instructor
Center resources include scripted solutions in several formats for all
of the computer problems in the text and access to "Hands-on Mechanics--An
Instructor's Guide."
This collection of visual resources allows instructors to utilize artwork
and photos from the text in multiple formats to create customized classroom
presentations, visual based tests and quizzes, dynamic course website content,
or attractive printed support materials. The digital assets on this cross-platform
CD-ROM are grouped by chapter within the following easy-to use folders:
Art Library - all figures from the book
Photo Library - all photos from the book
PowerPoint Lecture Presentations - for all text chapters
Electronic Transparencies - additional solved example problems
This comprehensive manual includes detailed solutions to all text problems.
Instructors will enjoy a clearer presentation and organization of problem
solutions now that the Instructor's Solutions Manual utilizes a clear,
typeset, one-two solution per page format. The manual also offers additional
Instructor Course Organization Aids such as a classification and description
of all problem and sample problem assignment schedules.
Need help with grading and a fresh supply of homework problems for your
course? McGraw-Hill can help. Our web-based assessment and homework management
system features algorithmically-generated homework problems and automatic
grading capabilities. Based on the text end-of-chapter problems, this system
gives each student a new version of a given problem type with a unique answer.
Available online and requires no special software
Assignment answers can be automatically graded online, delivering immediate
feedback to students.
Students can also print out a unique problem set, work the solution by
hand, and submit complete solutions for instructor grading.
Instructors can manage their course by posting assignments, receiving
grades in a customizable gradebook, and collecting class performance data.
