Clear, Logical Explanations: Difficult Concepts and complex procedures are written in a simple, straightforward style to insure student understanding Allied Health Emphasis: Exercises have been chosen and written to emphasize medical applications of microbiology for nursing and other allied health majors. See Sample Research Theme: What makes science fun is having the opportunity to design independent experiments. Therefore an experimental research theme is interwoven throughout the manual. In addition each exercise ends with a Scientific Inquiry box containing suggestions for further experiments. Critical Thinking: Students need to learn more than facts. More and more today allied health professionals are being expected to problem-solve and apply their training to novel situations. Throughout this book discussion questions are designed to become progressively more challenging and require more critical thought from the students. Supplementary Materials: The book contains appendices to offer further help in topics including: detailed safety guidelines for lab, a popular step-by-step tutorial for the metric system, and study guides for microbiological terminology and scientific names.
