RESOURCES FOR INSTRUCTORS AND STUDENTS

Online Homework and Resources

McGraw-Hill’s College Physics website offers online electronic homework along with a myriad of resources for both instructors and students. Instructors can create homework with easy-to-assign algorithmically generated problems from the text and the simplicity of automatic grading and reporting:

• The end-of-chapter problems and Review & Synthesis exercises appear in the online homework system in diverse formats and with various tools.
• The online homework system incorporates new and exciting interactive tools and problem types: ranking problems, a graphing tool, a free-body diagram drawing tool, symbolic entry, a math palette, and multi-part problems.

Instructors also have access to PowerPoint lecture outlines, an Instructor’s Resource Guide with solutions, suggested demonstrations, electronic images from the text, clicker questions, quizzes, tutorials, interactive simulations, and many other resources directly tied to text-specific materials in College Physics. Students have access to self-quizzing, interactive simulations, tutorials, selected solutions for the text’s problems, and more.

Electronic Media Integrated with the Text

McGraw-Hill is proud to bring you an assortment of outstanding interactives and tutorials like no other. These activities offer a fresh and dynamic method to teach the physics basics by providing students with activities that work with real data. Icons identify areas in the text where additional understanding can be gained through work with an interactive or tutorial on the text website.

The interactives allow students to manipulate parameters and gain a better understanding of the more difficult physics concepts by watching the effect of these manipulations. Each interactive includes:

• Analysis tool (interactive model)
• Tutorial describing its function
• Content describing its principle themes

The text website contains accompanying interactive quizzes. An instructor’s guide for each interactive with a complete overview of the content and navigational tools, a quick demonstration description, further study with the textbook, and suggested end-of-chapter follow-up questions is also provided as an online instructor’s resource.

The tutorials, developed and integrated by Raphael Littauer of Cornell University, provide the opportunity for students to approach a concept in steps. Detailed feedback is provided when students enter an incorrect response, which encourages students to further evaluate their responses and helps them progress through the problem.

Electronic Book Images and Assets for Instructors

Build instructional materials wherever, whenever, and however you want!

Accessed from the College Physics website, an online digital library containing photos, artwork, interactives, and other media types can be used to create customized lectures, visually enhanced tests and quizzes, compelling course websites, or attractive printed support materials.

Assets are copyrighted by McGraw-Hill Higher Education, but can be used by instructors for classroom purposes. The visual resources in this collection include

• Art Full-color digital files of all illustrations in the book can be readily incorporated into lecture presentations, exams, or custom-made classroom materials. In addition, all files are preinserted into PowerPoint slides for ease of lecture preparation.
• Active Art Library These key art pieces—formatted as PowerPoint slides—allow you to illustrate difficult concepts in a step-by-step manner. The artwork is broken into small, incremental pieces, so you can incorporate the illustrations into your lecture in whatever sequence or format you desire.
• Photos The photos collection contains digital files of photographs from the text, which can be reproduced for multiple classroom uses.
• Worked Example Library, Table Library, and Numbered Equations Library Access the worked examples, tables, and equations from the text in electronic format for inclusion in your classroom resources.
• Interactives Flash files of the physics interactives described earlier are included so that you can easily make use of the interactives in a lecture or classroom setting.

Also residing on your textbook’s website are

• PowerPoint Lecture Outlines Ready-made presentations that combine art and lecture notes are provided for each chapter of the text.
• PowerPoint Slides For instructors who prefer to create their lectures from scratch, all illustrations and photos are preinserted by chapter into blank PowerPoint slides.

Computerized Test Bank Online

A comprehensive bank of over 2000 test questions in multiple-choice format at a variety of difficulty levels is provided within a computerized test bank powered by McGraw-Hill’s flexible electronic testing program—EZ Test Online (www.eztestonline.com). EZ Test Online allows you to create paper and online tests or quizzes in this easy-to-use program!

Imagine being able to create and access your test or quiz anywhere, at any time without installing the testing software. Now, with EZ Test Online, instructors can select questions from multiple McGraw-Hill test banks or create their own, and then either print the test for paper distribution or give it online. See www.mhhe.com/grr for more information.

Electronic Books

If you or your students are ready for an alternative version of the traditional textbook, McGraw-Hill brings you innovative and inexpensive electronic textbooks. By purchasing E-books from McGraw-Hill, students can save as much as 50% on selected titles delivered on the most advanced E-book platforms available.

E-books from McGraw-Hill are smart, interactive, searchable, and portable, with such powerful built-in tools as detailed searching, highlighting, note taking, and student-to-student or instructor-to-student note sharing. E-books from McGraw-Hill will help students to study smarter and quickly find the information they need. E-books also saves students money. Contact your McGraw-Hill sales representative to discuss E-book packaging options.

Personal Response Systems

Personal response systems, or "clickers," bring interactivity into the classroom or lecture hall. Wireless response systems give the instructor and students immediate feedback from the entire class. The wireless response pads are essentially remotes that are easy to use and engage students, allowing instructors to motivate student preparation, interactivity, and active learning. Instructors receive immediate feedback to gauge which concepts students understand. Questions covering the content of the Physics text (formatted in PowerPoint) are available on the website for College Physics.

Instructor’s Resource Guide

The Instructor’s Resource Guide includes many unique assets for instructors, such as demonstrations, suggested reform ideas from physics education research, and ideas for incorporating just-in-time teaching techniques. It also includes answers to the end-of-chapter conceptual questions and complete, worked-out solutions for all the end-of-chapter problems from the text. The Instructors Resource Guide is available in the Instructor Resources on the text’s website.
