8th Edition
by Geoffrey Cooper (Author)
Even
the most experienced instructor can find teaching cell biology
daunting, and most cell biology texts are bogged down in detail or
background information. Lost in all the details are the more fascinating
material and contemporary advances that represent this rapidly moving
field. With so much to cover, creating a classroom around active
learning may be difficult or nearly impossible.
The Cell: A
Molecular Approach, Eighth Edition, endeavors to address those issues
with succinct writing, incorporation of current research, a test bank
that encourages critical thinking, and an active learning framework.
With just enough detail for a one-semester, sophomore/junior level
course, the text presents fundamental concepts and current research,
including chapters on Genomics and Transcriptional Regulation and
Epigenetics, and new in-text boxed features on Molecular Medicine and
Key Experiments. Instructors will appreciate updates to the eighth
edition test bank, such as raising the Bloom's level of questions
overall, and giving instructors the ability to select questions based on
level.
Finally, for instructors who want to flip their
classrooms or just get students more engaged, The Cell, Eighth Edition,
is the only cell biology text that is accompanied by an Active Learning
Guide. This chapter-by-chapter playbook shows instructors how to create a
dynamic learning environment with in-class exercises, clicker
questions, and links to relevant media, animations, testing, and
self-quizzing, all aligned with the new in-text learning objectives,
wherever appropriate. This text provides the right level of detail,
student engagement, and instructor support for the modern cell biology
classroom.
