Guinn’s Essentials of General, Organic and Biochemistry uses health and medicine as the framework for learning the fundamentals of chemistry in this student-centered one-semester text. The newly revised 3rd edition focuses on core concepts and necessary math skills, and features a revamped organization to align with traditional course organization and shorter, more condensed chapters. Easily digestible content and medical applications help reduce student anxiety and make chemistry meaningful for students preparing for future careers in nursing and other allied health professions. Available within the Achieve platform, the Guinn e-textbook is supported with a variety of assessment options and study tools designed to help students focus and understand the relevance of chemistry through videos, animations and case studies.
Features
Relevant to health and medicine:
- Chemistry in Medicine: A Chemistry in Medicine feature concludes each chapter by providing an in-depth look at how the chemical principles described in the chapter and be directly applied to a problem or issue in healthcare.
- Concepts in Context: Because context and connection are crucial to motivation and learning chemistry, each chapter opens in the form of a short, practical, and real-life example of a health-related topic connected to the concepts in the chapter. These stories immediately immerse the student in a high-interest topic related to health and medicine.
- Case Studies: in Achieve. Short, formative, self-guided activities intended to help students apply chemical concepts in a clinical context.
Reduce Student Anxiety/ Builds Student Confidence:
- Core Concepts: Margin boxes emphasize important concepts within the course, and provide a quick study tool for students in reviewing chapter content.
- Math Tips: Margin boxes provide suggested techniques and reminders of math skills at points in the text when mathematics is required.
- Guidelines: Step-by-step instructions, such as naming organic compounds, can be used as both explanations and a quick reference when doing homework or other exercises. They are clearly set off in the text to emphasize their importance and to help students find them easily.
- Worked problem solving: Both tutorials and end-of-chapter style questions provide hints, wrong-answer specific feedback and detailed solutions to ensure student practice focuses on learning and persistence even if incorrect on the first try.
