Because success as a biologist means more than just succeeding in the first biology course.
Research shows that when students engage with a course, it leads to better outcomes. Principles of Life 3e Digital Update is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning system for biology. Achieve supports PoL’s holistic solution that has been designed from the ground up to actively engage students in mastering concepts and becoming skilled at solving biological problems. Achieve includes thoughtfully curated assignments and activities to support pre-lecture preparation, in-class active learning, and post-lecture study and assessment.
For instructors concerned that the practical skills of biology are lost when the student moves on to the next course or takes their first step into the “real world,” Principles of Life 3e Digital Update lays the foundation for later courses and for students’ careers. PoL’s pioneering concept-driven approach (it was the first book of its kind available), experimental data-driven exercises, and active learning focus, includes features designed to involve students in mastering concepts and becoming skillful at solving biological problems.
With its focus on key competencies foundational to biology education and careers, self-guided adaptive learning, and unparalleled instructor resources for active classrooms, Principles of Life with Achieve is the resource students need to succeed.

Features
NOW SUPPORTED IN ACHIEVE!
Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for biology students. It houses all of our renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-books, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform.
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 unrivalled learning experience.
Highlights 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.
Think Like a Scientist: TLAS boxes have been designed specifically to teach students the skills needed to become functional, practical, effective scientists. TLAS questions are high level and try to have students integrate concepts across the chapter or across chapters, and ask students to do something.
Investigations with Analyze the Data: The goal of the Investigations is to help students master both big concepts in biology and Vision and Change competencies. This is done by illustrating a real study and having students analyze real data. Like TLAS, Investigations with Analyze the Data questions are higher level Bloom’s, integrating concepts within the chapter or across chapters, and encouraging activity-based answers.
Review & Apply: This chapter feature is designed to briefly summarize the previous section, and help students master concepts and competencies through questions. R&A questions are concept-specific, aligning with the Learning Objectives. With the exception of introductory concepts, R&A questions tend to be higher level Bloom’s, and when possible, ask students to engage in an activity-based answer.
Visual Summary: Visual Summaries conclude every chapter, providing students with a visually-compelling checklist, emphasizing major chapter concepts through key figures, bullets, and lower-level Bloom’s questions. The Visual Summary ensures students have mastered the major points of the chapter. The content is laid out so as to facilitate referencing back to the original chapter text and figures, and directing students to relevant animations and activities.
Learning Objectives: Learning Objectives are provided at the start of each Key Concept. The goal of Learning Objectives is to help students focus their attention as they read each section. At the end of each section, we reinforce the Learning Objectives with exercises/questions in Review & Apply. Learning Objectives encourage active learning, and student focus on mastering concepts and skills.
Key Concepts: Dividing chapters into sections, every Key Concept explores a single essential concept in light of established facts and relevant experimental evidence, providing the conceptual framework for the chapter, exercises, and questions ahead.
Chapter Opener with Question: A short introduction with an attention-grabbing photo and compelling question, which the student is meant to ponder as s/he reads and studies the chapter. The chapter ends with a return to the question and some discussion of the answer.
In-Figure Questions: Incorporated into figures, these questions are designed to engage students and help them think about the implications of the figure/diagram. In-figure questions tend to be lower level Bloom’s, and are often amenable to in-class discussion.
Links: Links point readers to additional discussion of a concept or key term elsewhere in the book, providing an opportunity for integration across chapters.
