PAL 4.0 includes built-in audio pronunciations, mobile friendly flashcards, and multiple choice and fill-in-the blank lab practical quizzes. Questions with images from PAL can be assigned and automatically graded in the Mastering A&P Item Library.
• NEW: Core Lab Topics Coaching Activities use MasteringA&P data to determine the most frequently assigned exercises. A total of 37 new Coaching Activities tutor students through core lab topics such as blood typing and tracing blood from the heart to the hand. All Coaching Activities ask students to interact with visuals from the lab manual. Varied question types include multiple-choice, art-labeling, ranking, and sorting, as well as wrong-answer feedback and hints.
• NEW: Draw It: Tutorial Coaching Activities include brief videos that feature author Michael Wood teaching students drawing techniques as a way for them to understand and remember anatomical structures and physiological processes. Developed for the early lab exercises, these new tutorials show students how to approach the Draw It: activities found in the printed lab manual. QR codes included in the printed lab manual allow students to access the tutorials for on-the-go study. Corresponding questions for each Draw It: Tutorial are included in MasteringA&P and are assignable.
• NEW: Review & Practice Sheets at the end of each lab exercise are now assignable activities in MasteringA&P. Automatic grading in Mastering allows instructors to avoid laborious hand-grading of these popular end-of-lab exercises. Open-ended questions in the printed lab manual shift to multiple choice or matching questions so that they are easily gradable in Mastering.
• UPDATED: Art-labeling Activities help students comprehend and interpret key visuals in the A&P lab. For the sixth edition, these Activities have been updated to reflect revised figures in the lab manual. There are now at least 10 Art-labeling Activities per Exercise.
