Content accurately reflects the curriculum of most Canadian institutions
Designed to engage readers, a reorganized Table of Contents and the inclusion of SI units, IUPAC standards, and Canadian content sets this program apart from many of the current text offerings.
ORION helps you identify the real-time proficiency of each studentv
With ORION Adaptive Practice, students can interact with each other, and you can measure students’ engagement and proficiency throughout the course. The more students participate, the more they gain visible proof that their participation leads to progress.
A wealth of questions help increase student comprehension
Along with over 74,000 text-specific questions, there are also 2 to 3 answer-specific feedback questions per chapter written by the program’s Canadian author.
- The introductory material has been reduced from four chapters into one succinct introductory chapter. The early material, often considered to be ‘assumed’ knowledge of high school chemistry, has been moved online for easy student review.
- Inclusion of two chapters of organic chemistry and organic examples included throughout the text
- Exclusive use of SI units and constants standardized to IUPAC standards
- Examples provided throughout the text of Canadian successes in the laboratory that have resulted in significant scientific advancement
- Visual summaries at the end of each chapter visually map out for students the most important elements from the chapter, showing key concepts and skills to master
- 2-3 higher level integrated problems per chapter
