OWLv2 for Garrett/Grisham's Biochemistry, 4 terms Instant Access 7th Edition by Reginald H. Garrett/Charles M. Grisham
Quick Navigation

Overview

Created by chemists, OWLv2 is the first-of-its-kind online learning platform focused on moving students beyond memorization toward higher order thinking and conceptual understanding. Its Mastery Learning approach allows learners to practice at their own pace, receive meaningful feedback and use learning resources to help them achieve better grades.

Reginald H. Garrett

Reginald H. Garrett was educated in the Baltimore city public schools and at the Johns Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in biology in 1968. Since that time, he has conducted research and taught biochemistry courses at the University of Virginia, where he is currently Professor of Biology. He is the author of numerous papers and review articles on biochemical, genetic, and molecular biological aspects of inorganic nitrogen metabolism. His early research focused on the pathway of nitrate assimilation in filamentous fungi. His investigations contributed substantially to our understanding of the enzymology, genetics, and regulation of this major pathway of biological nitrogen acquisition. More recently, he has collaborated in systems approaches to the metabolic basis of nutrition-related diseases. His research has been supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and private industry. A member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Garrett is a former Fulbright Scholar, was twice Visiting Scholar at the University of Cambridge, and was Invited Professor at the University of Toulouse, France.

Charles M. Grisham

Charles M. Grisham received his B.S. in chemistry from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1969 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1973. Following a postdoctoral appointment at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, he became Professor of Chemistry at the University of Virginia, where he teaches biochemistry, introductory chemistry, and physical chemistry. He has authored numerous papers and review articles on active transport of sodium, potassium, and calcium in mammalian systems, on protein kinase C, and on the applications of NMR and EPR spectroscopy to the study of biological systems. His work has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America, the Research Corporation, the American Heart Association and the American Chemical Society. A member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Grisham held the Knapp Chair in Chemistry in 1999 at the University of San Diego; was Visiting Scientist at the Aarhus University Institute of Physiology, Aarhus, Denmark, for two years; and received a Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health.

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 ensure student mastery. This design allows your students to practice, receive robust feedback and understand the underlying chemical concepts.
  • Tutorials, Simulations and Visual Exercises are interactive, media-rich problems designed to introduce new concepts to your students by providing guidance and honing 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.
  • OWLv2 offers access to a mobile-compatible eTextbook, which includes all textbook content, plus multimedia and note-taking capabilities.
  • IAC 1 Platform Feature 6

OWLv2
OWLv2 offers a full, mobile-ready textbook combined with mastery learning activities that allow students to understand each concept and skill at their own pace.

This Cengage solution can be seamlessly integrated into most Learning Management Systems (Blackboard, Brightspace by D2L, Canvas, Moodle, and more) but does require a different ISBN for access codes. Please work with your Cengage Learning Consultant to ensure the proper course set up and ordering information. For additional information, please visit the LMS Integration site.
