Other Available Supplements

Instructor's Manual

The Instructor's Manual is designed to assist instructors as they plan and prepare for classes using Human Biology. The Instructor's Manual contains both an extended lecture outline and lecture enrichment ideas, which together review in detail the contents of the text chapter. The technology section lists relevant assets from McGraw-Hill.

Student Study Guide

To ensure close coordination with the text, Dr. Sylvia S. Mader has written the Student Study Guide that accompanies the text. Each text chapter has a corresponding study guide chapter that includes a listing of objectives, study questions, and a chapter test. Answers to the study questions and the chapter tests are provided to give students immediate feedback.

The concepts in the study guide are the same as those in the text, and the questions in the study guide are sequenced according to these concepts. Instructors who make their choice of concepts known to the students can thereby direct student learning in an efficient manner. Students who make use of the Student Study Guide should find that performance increases dramatically.

Laboratory Manual

Dr. Mader has also written the Laboratory Manual to accompany Human Biology. With few exceptions, each chapter in the text has an accompanying laboratory exercise in the manual (some chapters have more than one accompanying exercise). In this way, instructors are better able to emphasize particular portions of the curriculum. The 19 laboratory sessions in the manual are designed to further help students appreciate the scientific method and to learn the fundamental concepts of biology and the specific content of each chapter. All exercises have been tested for student interest, preparation time, and feasibility. This lab manual can be customized to fit your lab course. Contact your McGraw-Hill representative for details.

Transparencies

This set of transparency acetates to accompany the text has been expanded to 400 full-color acetates, including all of the art from the textbook.

Micrograph Slides

This ancillary provides a boxed set of 100 color slides of

photomicrographs and electron micrographs from the text.
