Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • MindTap, Enhanced Edition is an outcome-driven application that propels students from memorization to mastery. It’s the only platform that gives you complete ownership of your course. With it, you can challenge every student, build their confidence, and empower them to be unstoppable.
  • PERSONAL. LOCAL. GLOBAL. Get your students to consider sociological issues from the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Develop students’ sociological imagination through activities centered around understanding sociological concepts at the personal, local, and global level integrated throughout assignments.
  • EXPLORE THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION. Develop empathy and enrich classroom discussion by having students experiencing other people’s perspectives and challenges. The Explore activity in each chapter requires critical decision making and evaluation. The open-ended questions that follow the simulation get students to reflect about their personal decisions made during the simulation as well as larger, more global consequences.
  • ADDRESS PERSONAL BIAS. Delve into students’ preconceived notions about a topic by polling their comparisons of two photos or scenarios. You have the power to make use of the data gathered – and view it by classroom, institution, and system - to catalyze class discussion. Then quiz students’ understanding of larger sociological concepts that feed from the analysis.
  • ENCAPSULATE CONCEPTS WITH CREATIVE PROJECTS. Get students to demonstrate analysis through a creative project, some of which are done individually as well as collaboratively. At the individual level, students demonstrate connections between one’s personal life and larger sociological concepts. Customizable rubrics and simple uploading functionality make these assignments engaging, structured, and accessible.
  • ACCESSIBLE ENHANCED E-READER CONTENT. Access the e-reader for the enhanced edition through MindTap, updated in its research, data, tables, figures, and photos. Features include a running glossary, list of key terms, chapter reviews, highlight, bookmark, and note functionality.
  • YOUR COURSE. YOUR CONTENT. Only MindTap gives you complete control over your course. You have the flexibility to reorder textbook chapters, add your own notes, and embed a variety of content including OER. Personalize course content to your students’ needs. They can even read your notes, add their own, and highlight key text to aid their progress. Our MindTap for Sociology: Course Management Navigator, specifically designed for sociologists’ course needs, helps you navigate the platform and integrate the activities into your unique course style.
  • ACCESS EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE PLACE. Cut down on prep with MindTap’s preloaded, organized course materials. Teach more efficiently with interactive multimedia, assignments, quizzes, and more. And give your students the power to read, listen, and study on their phones, so they can learn on their terms.
  • EMPOWER YOUR STUDENTS TO REACH THEIR POTENTIAL. Twelve distinct metrics give you actionable insights into student engagement. Identify topics troubling your entire class and instantly communicate with struggling students. And students can track their scores to stay motivated toward their goals. Together, you can accelerate progress.
  • A DEDICATED TEAM, WHENEVER YOU NEED THEM. MindTap isn’t just a tool, it’s backed by a personalized team eager to support you. We help you set up your course and tailor it to your specific objectives, so you’ll be ready to make an impact from day one. And we’ll be standing by to help you and your students until the final day of the term.
