Features

Now Supported in Achieve
Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biology content provides an unrivaled learning experience.

Features of Achieve include:

• A design guided by learning science research. Co-designed through extensive collaboration and testing by both students and faculty including two levels of Institutional Review Board approval for every study of Achieve
• A learning path of powerful content including pre-class, in-class, and post-class activities and assessments.
• A detailed gradebook with insights for just-in-time teaching and reporting on student achievement by learning objective.
• Easy integration and gradebook sync with iClicker classroom engagement solutions.　
• Simple integration with your campus LMS and availability through Inclusive Access programs.

New media and assessment features in Achieve include:

• New Smart Biology Animations provide cutting-edge 3D tools for students to help them understand cell biology at a structural level. Based on data from the World Wide Protein Databank, these animations provide students with highly accurate visualizations of structures and processes. Twenty six animations are included in Achieve and include associated assessments that can be assigned and automatically graded.
• Eight new In-class activities, along with revised classroom response questions provide support for an active and inclusive classroom.
• LearningCurve adaptive quizzes provide formative assessments to help students prepare before class.
• Case Studies and Analyze the Data Problems focus on real world applications.
• Chapter Concept Quizzes provide easy to assign and automatically graded assessments.

Features of the text include:

• An approach grounded by emphasis of the experiments that define our understanding of cell biology, engaging students with the exciting breakthroughs that define the field’s history and point to its future.
• Experimental Figures illustrate real experiments and show real data.
• Medical and Plant Biology Connections are woven throughout the chapters where appropriate to give students an appreciation for the clinical applications of the basic science they are learning.
• Key Concepts for each section provide a learning framework for students as they progress through each chapter.

"This chapter provides a great overview of what is to come, the selection of pictures are great. The descriptions of the pictures are awesome. Another thing I like is that this chapter provides a lot of information and does not rush into the next chapter." -Jamie Parker

"The logic is great. I love it!" -Dou Zhicheng

"I really enjoyed reading the chapter. It flowed nicely and was easy to understand…" -Maianne Poxleitner

"This is an excellent chapter, which provides a concise and informative exposition of techniques referenced in other sections of the text that provide the evidence for our understanding of cell structures and functions. I believe that all the relevant microscopy techniques and major advances are well covered in this chapter.Other topics such as cell fractionation and analysis and immunological techniques complement material found in other text chapters." -Thomas Keller

"This chapter provides excellent detail on all of the topics covered. Material presented is current and accurate. The key concepts at the end of each section are well written and provide appropriately succinct synopses of the material." -Jamie Siders Sanford

"Well integrated focus on evolution and the why the genome is arranged the way it is - even in cases where answers are somewhat speculative. I really liked this part. I was able to follow the figures demonstrating mechanisms (e.g., transposon copying) without even much reference to the legends - thus I felt these were well done." -Wendy Hanna-Rose

"[C]ell biology without the detail is... high school, not college level - so overall great job. Love the rigor and the discussion." -Philip Santangelo

"1) engagingly written 2) lots of beautiful fluorescence micrographs 3) I liked that the emphasis was on microtubules (a huge literature), rather than all cytoskeletal elements being covered in a single chapter 4) inclusion of experimental approaches that led to a particular finding or model." -Susan Spencer

"1) The art is amazing 2) It is comprehensive 3) It is up-to-date. 4) I really appreciate the section on primary cilium." -Richard Londraville

"The content is definitely well-presented with excellent writing in a student-friendly writing style. The Overview of the Cell Cycle is excellent. The information is told like a story; very effective." -Hao Nguyen

"The cell cycle overview in the beginning sets up the rest of the Chapter quite well. The level of detail between molecular mechanism and cellular processes or behavior of macromolecules throughout the cell cycle is well balanced." -Salil Lachke
