Companion Website Testing:

The quizzes developed for the companion website were built with the primary goal of streamlining the content and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the language in each question. Each question was evaluated for its pertinence and ability to reinforce key concepts. Here are some other key features:

  • Each chapter now contains a minimum of 20 questions, which refer to the precise graphics and language of the related and surrounding concepts in the textbook.
  • The questions reinforce the main ideas found in the textbook, particularly those illustrated by a graph, table, or equation.
  • The order of the questions is the same as the order of concepts presented in the chapter.
  • In most cases, the graphs are identical reproductions of the graphs found in the textbook.
  • Every answer is supported by strong coaching. Even the wrong choices provide explanations to key concepts and the surrounding material.
