Book Reviews of Student Study Guide for Biology
Book Review: A poor companion to a fantastic text
Summary: 3 Stars
I will start by saying the usefulness of this guide is directly related to how your classroom/lecture course is set up. If your instructor focuses on the textbook in class, this guide will be very useful. If your instructor tends to use the book to reinforce their own lecture material you may be sorely disappointed having purchased what has just become a large coloring book.
The reason for this disconnect is that the guide seems to take large leaps of logic in reviewing a chapter. Oftentimes the focus for review is a throwaway comment hidden in the chapter that is of sufficient importance that it justifies intense questioning from the guide.
And the flowcharts... Damn the flowcharts!
The flowcharts are -awful-. They are poorly designed and just add to any confusion the student might have. The text often does not explain the complex interactions between cells, proteins, etc that the review guide expects you to know. Is it vital for you to understand the interplay between energy levels as they heat up car paint? No! 99% of the time your instructor will expect this knowledge to come from your prerequisite/concurrent chemistry class, or simply ask you to identify what is going on when solar energy is absorbed. (Note: The textbook does an excellent job explaining this, which the guide undoes quickly)
So depending on your instructor, you may be better off using the MyBioLab package's self-assessment quizzes and review material. I certainly was more satisfied with the online review than this guide.
I encourage you to look through the guide yourself on campus. It might not be right for me, but it may be perfect for you.
