Student Study Guide Available for students on the OLC (and within Connect’s Student Library) the Student Study Guide offers students a wealth of additional resources to master the course. The Student Study Guide includes Chapter Overviews, discussion of issues relevant to the topics in the chapters, practice quizzes, and a common myths section to help students get past points of confusion.

Test Bank Available in both Microsoft Word and EZ Test computerized formats, the test bank includes a full complement of multiple choice and short answer/essay questions to choose from. The bank is comprised of over one thousand unique questions that serve as a fair barometer of student mastery.

PowerPoint Presentations The PowerPoint presentations that accompany Mandel’s text incorporate both the fundamental concepts of each chapter as well as the graphs essential to each topic. Where appropriate, the graphs themselves are animated to demonstrate movement within a coordinate axis – something printed figures simply cannot do. The PowerPoint presentations successfully enhance the lessons in the text without providing a substitute for chapter reading or class attendance.

Instructor’s Manual The Instructor’s Manual includes suggested answers to end-of-chapter questions, as well as pop-quiz resources, common student stumbling blocks, and lecture notes. The manual is an invaluable resource for professors new to the course, as well as TAs or other graduate instructors.
