Medical Terminology Simplified

IMAGE RESOURCE

We have enhanced and expanded the Image Resource,a popular feature of the past edition, to meet the current

demands of numerous instructors. The Image Resourceis an electronic image bank that contains all illustrations from

the textbook. It is fully searchable and allows users to zoom in and out and display a JPG image of an illustration that

can be copied into a Microsoft Word document or PowerPoint presentation.

ELECTRONIC TEST BANK

The electronic test bank uses ExamView Pro, a powerful, user-friendly test-generation program. It enables instructors

to create custom-made or randomly generated tests in a printable format from a test bank of more than 1,230 test

items, with 370 new test items for this edition. The test bank includes multiple-choice, matching, true-false, and med-

ical word–building questions. Because of the flexibility of the ExamView Protest-generating program, instructors can

edit questions in the test bank to meet their specific educational needs. Therefore, if instructors wish to restate,

embellish, or streamline questions or change distractors, they can do so with little effort. They can also add questions

to the test bank. The ExamView Pro program is available for PC and Macintosh users.

RESOURCE KIT

Learning Management Systems Resource Kit is available for Blackboard, Angel, Moodle, Canvass, and SCORM-

compliant systems.

TEACHING AND STUDENT GUIDES

The Teaching and Student Guides are extensive instructional aids matched to every lecture in a common single-term

Medical Terminology course. The Teaching Guide is filled with sample homework assignments, in-class activities,

vides live hyperlinks to the instructor resources on DavisPlus. The accompanying Student Guide may be distributed

to students at the instructor’s discretion. The Student Guide contains study tips, lists of accompanying resources, and

a list of the homework assignments from the Teaching Guide.
