Format information
Essential Anatomy and Physiology is provided in the form of a CD ROM and as a manual. The information in each format is virtually identical.
The CD ROM is simple to install. Clear installation instructions are included in the CD booklet. No previous computer experience is required. The CD includes a System Introduction to demonstrate every aspect of its functionality. This ensures that the package can always be used to its maximum potential. The text is well written and the information is easy to navigate. Numerous questions provide opportunities for self-testing, with the feedback to each question providing valuable reinforcement of the teaching point. The CD includes an interactive list of contents and a full glossary that is accessible from each page. All the information is literally a mouse-click away!
The Study Manual presents the wealth of information in a paper format, neatly packaged in a ring binder. The text is clear and well set out. The Study Manual includes the questions and provides plenty of 'white space' for additional notes to be added if necessary.
