She has also taught and written a human physiology for health professions textbook for undergraduate health sciences students.
-
LabSkills modules, available in WebAssign, offer pre-lab guidance on laboratory equipment, procedures and safety.
-
Pause and Reflect reminders encourage students to establish a problem-solving strategy before answering lab questions, while Chem Clues anticipate common challenges.
-
A scenario at the end of each chapter connects GOB concepts introduced in labs to healthcare and asks students to respond to profiles of patients.
-
Instructor resources include tips for teaching assistants who may be teaching the laboratory course for the first time. Tips focus on safety, chemical setup, disposal and more.
