Supplements for Instructors

Instructor’s Resources and Solutions Manual

Mary Lesser (Iona College) has collected a broad array of materials for instructors. This manual includes chapter overviews, outlines, and a discussion of how the core principles apply to each chapter. It also addresses concepts students often find difficult, including suggestions for alleviating confusion. Solutions to the problems at the end of each chapter are given. Included as well is helpful advice provided by Stephen Miller (University of Nevada at Las Vegas) on how instructors can easily modify their existing course to take advantage of the approach in this book.

Test Bank

John Nader (Grand Valley State University) has constructed a test bank of 2,300 multiple-choice and 600 short-answer and essay questions. The test bank can be used both as a study guide and as a source for exam questions. It has been computerized to allow for both selective and random generation of test questions.

PowerPoint Slides

Nick Noble (Miami University) has developed a set of PowerPoint slides intended for classroom use. The slides outline the main points in each chapter and reproduce major graphs and charts. This handy, colorful supplement will help to maintain students’ interest during lectures.
