Instructor Information
Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):
Brooker, Biology, balances "core concepts" with "core skills" to engage students in biology allowing them to build their knowledge base. In addition, the textbook centers around the goal of allowing students to develop critical thinking skills. An individual who is skillful in critical thinking can conclude a collection of information and discriminate between useful and less useful details to solve problems and make decisions.
If a primary goal for your students is to understand biology and improve their critical thinking skills, Biology is an excellent choice.
