Steven S. Zumdahl

Steve Zumdahl is the author of market-leading textbooks in introductory chemistry, general chemistry, honors-level chemistry, and high school chemistry. Recently retired from his long-time position as Director of Undergraduate Programs at the University of Illinois, he has received numerous awards for his contributions to chemical education. These include the National Catalyst Award in recognition of his contribution to chemical education, the University of Illinois Teaching Award, the UIUC Liberal Arts and Sciences Advising Award, and the School of Chemical Sciences Teaching Award (five times). He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from Wheaton College (IL), and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.

Susan A. Zumdahl

Susan A. Zumdahl earned a B.S. and M.A. in Chemistry at California State University--Fullerton. She has taught science and mathematics at all levels, including middle school, high school, community college, and university. She is past director of the Merit Program for Emerging Scholars in Chemistry at the University of Illinois. In addition, she spearheaded the development of a sophisticated web-based electronic homework system for chemistry and is co-author on several chemistry textbooks.

Donald J. DeCoste

Donald J. DeCoste is Associate Director of General Chemistry at the University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign and has been teaching chemistry at the high school and college levels for 26 years. He earned his BS in Chemistry and PhD from the University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign. At UIUC he has developed chemistry courses for nonscience majors, preservice secondary teachers, and preservice elementary teachers. He teaches courses in introductory chemistry and the teaching of chemistry and has received the School of Chemical Sciences Teaching Award four times. Don has led workshops for secondary teachers and graduate student teaching assistants, discussing the methods and benefits of getting students more actively involved in class. When not involved in teaching and advising, Don enjoys spending time with his wife and three children.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • A pre-built Laddered Assessment course template organizes the various activity types within OWLv2 by topic. This organization supports conceptual learning by grouping together different types of activities in one place. You simply assign the concepts you plan to teach, and then your students can focus on mastering one concept at a time, with all the support OWLv2 offers along the way.
  • Mastery Learning Problems contain sets of questions associated with specific concepts or skills, where students must meet a threshold of correct answers to proceed. In these unique problems, chemicals, numbers and context change with each attempt, to help ensure student mastery. This design allows your students to practice, receive robust feedback and understand the underlying chemical concepts.
  • Tutorials, Simulations and Visualization exercises are interactive, media-rich problems designed to introduce new concepts to your students by providing guidance and supporting step-by-step problem-solving skills.
  • End-of-chapter practice problems that match the textbook are available in OWLv2. These problems are randomized and include detailed feedback and solutions to help your students prepare for exams. This edition includes new and revised problems, as well as updated targeted feedback.
  • OWLv2 offers access to a mobile-compatible eTextbook, which includes all textbook content, plus multimedia and note-taking capabilities.
  • The Quick Prep activity helps students review fundamental skills and concepts at the start of the semester, while Adaptive Study Plans offer a helpful review and summary of the topics in each chapter.
