RUNNING GLOSSARY
Key terms are high-
lighted in boldface type within the text where 
they are introduced, and defi nitions are given in 
the margin of the page, along with pronuncia-
tion guides for diffi
cult words. To facilitate study, 
at the end of each module there is a list of the 
key terms and concepts introduced in that 
module. There is also a glossary of all key terms 
and concepts at the end of the book.
 PRE- AND POST-TESTS
Students can practice 
with key concepts with pre- and post-tests you 
assign through Connect. The test items are 
keyed to learning objectives and levels of 
Bloom’s taxonomy. 
RECAP/EVALUATE/RETHINK
Each module 
concludes with a Recap/Evaluate/Rethink 
section. The
Recap
sections review the con-
cept questions found at the beginning of 
each module.
Evaluate
sections test recall of 
the material, assessing the degree of initial 
learning. The
Rethink
sections provide 
thought-provoking questions designed to 
provoke critical thinking about the material.
