- Guided Notebook Written by author George Woodbury. The Guided Notebook follows the material in the Interactive Assignment. The student is expected to fill out the notebook as they progress through the reading assignment. When complete, the student has a complete text written in their own words. Instructors may want to check each student’s Guided Notebook to verify the student is completing each Interactive Assignment. The Guided Notebook is either available as a print supplement or may be downloaded directly from the left navigation bar in MyLab.
- Additional Exercises These are stagnant paper/pencil problems that you may use as additional assignments that are available for each section. The authors use these for weekly homework that is turned in as a formative assessment. This allows instructors to see the student’s work and provide feedback. The additional exercises appear in the left navigation bar within the drop-down menu of each section’s interactive assignment. They are hidden from student view by default. Answers are provided as well (hidden from student view).
