Learning tools

Accompanying this text is a CD entitled Learning By Modeling As its name implies it is a learning tool designed to help you better understand molecular structure and properties and contains two major components... 

Now that we have discussed some details of HAZWOPER, let s review some case histories to see how we can put this in perspective. Case histories are important because they can be used as learning tools. 

In addition, a properly designed JHA is a good learning tool that you can use to evaluate incidents. Job-related incidents occur every day in the workplace. These incidents, which include injuries and fatalities, often occur because employees are not trained in the proper job procedures. One way to reduce these workplace incidents is to develop proper job procedures and train all employees in the safer and more efficient work methods. 

You ve probably already heard a lot about your general chemistry course. Many think it is more difficult than other courses. There may be some justification for that opinion. Besides having its very own specialized vocabulary, chemistry is a quantitative science, which means that you need mathematics as a tool to help you understand the concepts. As a result, you will probably receive a lot of advice from your instructor, teaching assistant, and fellow students about how to study chemistry. We hesitate to add our advice experience as teachers and parents has taught us that students do surprisingly well without it We would, however, like to acquaint you with some of the learning tools in this text. They are described in the pages that follow.

In contrast,Chapter 11 looks at the very recent introduction of computer-based multimedia technologies into chemical education as a way of forging macro/sub-micro/symbolic links. Chiu and Wu discuss the value of such approaches as, respectively, a modelling tool, a learning tool, an assessment tool and an instructional tool. Their thesis is given added weight by the inclusion of results from classroom development and evaluation projects. 

Pharmacotherapy Principles Practice is a valuable and unique learning tool that combines state-of-the-art, comprehensive, yet concise chapters, unique learning features, and the Online Learning Center. 

Instead of spacing out in the Laplace-domain, we can (as we are taught) guess how the process behaves from the pole positions of the transfer function. But wouldn t it be nice if we could actually trace the time profile without having to do the reverse Laplace transform ourselves Especially the response with respect to step and impulse inputs Plots of time domain dynamic calculations are extremely instructive and a useful learning tool.1... 

The most important learning tool in this book is not the problems, but the answers. At the back of the book, each answer is fully explained. After you finish a set, go to the back of the book and see how many questions you got right. But don t stop there look at the explanations for all the questions, both the ones you got right and the ones you got wrong. You will be learning by doing, and learning from your mistakes—the best way to learn any subject.

The accident investigation report is written using the principles of technical documentation. Items 1-4 are objective and should not include the authors opinions. Items 5-7 appropriately contain the opinions of the authors (investigation team). This technical style allows readers to develop their own independent conclusions and recommendations. As a result of these criteria, the accident investigation report is a learning tool, which is the major purpose of the investigation. 

Explanations of Answers Are learning tools that allow you to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses.
