  • H. Stephen Stoker

    Stephen Stoker of Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, has taught the gamut of introductory chemistry courses, specializing in GOB, for the past 30 years. Weber State University has had a very large Health Professions school, and GOB is geared at students with little or no experience in chemistry (notably Allied Health and Nursing majors).

  • The most powerful online learning solution for chemistry is better than ever. OWLv2 now has more flexible student and instructor functionality, new personalized study tools, enhanced integration with learning management systems, and improved analytics. For this course, OWLv2 also includes Quick Prep, an online short course to review key chemistry concepts and essential skills, new iPad-compatible visualizations, tutorials, and simulations, and new Adaptive Study Plans. In addition, Tutors, Visualizations and Simulations have been converted from Flash to HTML, allowing for easier navigation and streamlined grading.

  • Section Quizzes--new section quizzes at the end of each of section test student understanding of the section. The quizzes test student understanding at the micro-level and reinforce key concepts. There are 356 section quizzes; total of 1, 252 questions.

  • Learning Focus--new feature called "Learning Focus". Learning focuses are placed at the beginning of each section and provide students with insight into what each section is going to focus on and the associated learning outcomes for those sections.
