SmartBook Online Access for Foundations in Microbiology [Web Access]

Foundations in Microbiology, 8th ed. delivers technical science information in plain language, explaining complex topics clearly and vividly. As with all biological sciences, microbiology is highly visual so the authors include clear illustrations that are tied to the text description and abundantly labeled. In this edition, the authors have updated descriptions of microbiology technology, antimicrobic drugs, and disease statistics in addition to adding more than 200 fresh photos. What is SmartBook?
SmartBook is the first and only adaptive e-book designed to change the way students read and learn. It starts by identifying the topics a student knows and does not know. As the student progresses, SmartBook adapts and adjusts the content based on his or her individual strengths, weaknesses and confidence, ensuring that every minute spent studying with SmartBook is the most efficient and productive study time possible.



Why SmartBook?
Smartbook helps you become more productive and efficient in your studying. The result? Better grades.



How does SmartBook work?
It creates a personalized reading experience by highlighting the most impactful concepts a student needs to learn at that moment in time. As a student engages with SmartBook, the reading experience continuously adapts by highlighting content based on what the student knows and doesn’t know. This ensures that the focus is on the content he or she needs to learn, while simultaneously promoting long-term retention of material. Use SmartBook’s real-time reports to quickly identify the concepts that require more attention from individual students–or the entire class.
The end result? Students are more engaged with course content, can better prioritize their time, and come to class ready to participate.
