Breaking down challenging content in biology: Tools to help students learn
Discover innovative tools in Campbell Biology in Focus, 4th Edition that enhance student learning, clarify concepts, and promote long-term retention in biology with co-author Dr. Lisa Urry.
Lisa Urry, Author, Unit Head for STEM and Health Sciences, Mary S. Metz Chair for Excellence and Creativity in Teaching, Mills College at Northeastern University
Join Dr. Lisa Urry as she demonstrates new instructor-designed tools built into Campbell Biology in Focus, 4th edition to help students navigate complex concepts and overcome misconceptions to gain a deeper understanding of biology. She will describe how she uses these features to help her students establish a framework for new material, check their understanding as they go, and practice and review the content to foster long-term learning.
