ENHANCED MEDIA SUPPORT FOR YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS

• NEW Companion Website with GradeTracker.  With this new edition, the Companion Website (CW) includes GradeTracker functionality.  This provides students with a running gradebook of the assignments completed on the CW.  Students will know where they need to focus their study time!  And instructors can set up an account so he/she can view student progress.  
• NEW Online Text links.  Students should learn from their mistakes and the new CW allows to do just that.  Once they've answered a question incorrectly, they will receive answer-specific feedback and, in many cases, an online link to the section of the text from which the question was pulled.  
• NEW Virtual ChemLab Workbook and CD.  This CD, specifically designed to work with McMurry/Castellion, contains a full virtual lab environment as well as the pre-arranged labs that are refer­enced in the workbook. Virtual ChemLab can be run directly from the CD or installed on the student's computer.
• NEW Instructor's Resource CD.  This lecture resource provides a fully searchable and integrated collection of resources to help you make efficient and effective use of your lecture preparation time, as well as to enhance your classroom presentations and assessment efforts. It includes
  • Most of the art from the textbook and (NEW) 88 tables in JPEG, PDF, & PPT formats.
  • 4 sets of PowerPoint slides for each chapter: 1) A set of most text images , 2) a PPT lecture presentation, 3) NEW - 167 Progressive reveal Worked Example PPTs, 4) NEW - Classroom Response System PPT’s.
  • TestGen Software to help you generate tests and quizzes
  • Test Item File questions available in Word format
  • Quicktime movies and animations, some of which are new

• Companion Website with GradeTracker.  With this new edition, the Companion Website (CW) includes GradeTracker functionality.  This provides students with a running gradebook of the assignments completed on the CW. 
• Media-Rich WebBook links.  Students should learn from their mistakes and the new CW allows to do just that.  Once they've answered a question incorrectly, they will receive answer-specific feedback and, in many cases, an online link to the section of the text from which the question was pulled.  This text section is enhanced with live media activities, animations, and movies.
• Student Accelerator CD.  If a student uses a dial-up internet connection, downloading media can be time-consuming.  This CD accelerates the performance of the website when students download high-bandwidth media, so that students are not restricted by slow connections. It can also be used apart from the Companion Website if a student doesn't have a live Internet connection. 
• Virtual ChemLab Workbook and CD.  This CD, specifically designed to work with McMurry/Castellion, contains a full virtual lab environment as well as the pre-arranged labs that are refer­enced in the workbook. Virtual ChemLab can be run directly from the CD or installed on the student's computer.
