SmartBook for Chemistry: Atoms First

Description

Using a logical approach Chemistry: Atoms First, 1st ed. starts with the fundamental building block of matter, the atom, and uses it as the stepping stone for you to understand more complex chemistry topics. Once you master the nature of atoms and electrons, the authors explain the formation and properties of compounds. And then you have sufficient background to tackle topics such as stoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics. This incremental approach—plus the book’s engaging writing style and modern, descriptive artwork—set it apart from other introductory chemistry texts. What is SmartBook? SmartBook is the first and only adaptive e-book designed to change the way students read and learn. It starts by identifying the topics a student knows and does not know. As the student progresses, SmartBook adapts and adjusts the content based on his or her individual strengths, weaknesses and confidence, ensuring that every minute spent studying with SmartBook is the most efficient and productive study time possible. Why SmartBook? Smartbook helps you become more productive and efficient in your studying. The result? Better grades. How does SmartBook work? It creates a personalized reading experience by highlighting the most impactful concepts a student needs to learn at that moment in time. As a student engages with SmartBook, the reading experience continuously adapts by highlighting content based on what the student knows and doesn’t know. This ensures that the focus is on the content he or she needs to learn, while simultaneously promoting long-term retention of material. Use SmartBook’s real-time reports to quickly identify the concepts that require more attention from individual students–or the entire class. The end result? Students are more engaged with course content, can better prioritize their time, and come to class ready to participate.
