Psychology, 7th Edition

Ancillary Descriptions

Annotated Instructor's Edition
New with Teaching Tips icons signaling new information on the Instructor Web Site, this edition helps instructors to coordinate the many print, software, and video supplements available with the text by showing which materials apply to the content on every page of the student text. These materials include learning objectives, test questions, discussion and lecture ideas, handouts, active-learning and critical-thinking activities from the Study Guide, videodisc segments and stills, lecture starter videos, overhead transparencies and PowerPoint® images, as well as three psychology readers.

Study Guide
Each chapter contains a detailed outline, a key-terms section that presents fresh examples and learning aids, plus a fill-in-the-blank test, learning objectives, a concepts and exercises section that shows students how to apply their knowledge of psychology to everyday issues and concerns, a critical-thinking exercise, and personal learning activities. In addition, each chapter concludes with a two-part self-quiz consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions. An answer key tells the student not only which response is correct but also why each of the other choices is wrong, and quiz analysis tables enable students to track patterns to their wrong answers, either by topic or by type of question-definition, comprehension, or application.

Consisting of the computerized test bank and the HM ClassPrep components this CD-ROM has a new, easy-to-use interface; complete cross-platform flexibility; and other new features to make the product flexible.

HM Testing contains more than 3,000 multiple-choice items plus three essay questions for each chapter of the text.
