Student-Focused Pedagogy
Chapter pedagogy helps students navigate through the chapter, and clearly understand what
they need to focus on to succeed.Chapter Outline at the beginning of
each chapter tells students what they will
encounter in the chapterConcept Check questions at the end of each
section allow students to test their comprehension
of the learning objectives.Chapter Planner at the beginning of
each chapter shows students which
key features they should pay close
attention to.Learning Objectives at the start of each
section indicate in behavioral terms the
concepts that students are expected to
master while reading the section.CHAPTER OUTLINE

Answer What is happening in this picture?
Answer the Critical and Creative Thinking Questions.- Define toxicology and epidemiology.
- Explain why public water supplies are monitored
for fecal coliform bacteria despite the fact that
most strains of E. coli do not cause disease. - Describe the link between environmental changes
and emerging diseases, such as swine flu.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Define toxicologyyandepidemiology.- Explain why public water supplies are monitored
for fecal coliform bacteria despite the fact that
most strains of E. coliido not cause disease. - Describe the link between environmental changes
and emerging diseases, such as swine flu.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES- What is the difference between toxicology and
epidemiology? - Why is the fecal coliform test performed on
public drinking water supplies? - How is the incidence of swine flu related to
human activities that alter the environment?
