Preface
To the Instructor I offer the following suggestions based on countless correspondences with instructors who teach our subject. I have learned that there are many viable approaches for achieving student success depending on course objectives and classroom facilities. Since I teach in a media classroom, I incorporate PowerPoint® and video presentations, Internet assignments, collaborative learning, chemical demonstrations, as well as traditional techniques. It is my experience that lecture materials have a relatively short lifespan and I must renew each presentation or students sense a lack of freshness. To accompany this Eighth Edition of Introductory Chemistry: Concepts and Critical Thinking there is a plethora of technology including an Instructor Resource Center with pre-built PowerPoint® presentations, animations, interactive activities, Instructor’s Manual lecture outlines, and a Test Bank in Word® format. In terms of a guiding principle, I obtain the best results when I organize an entire course so as to include one or more interesting asides in each lecture. This adds an extra dimension to every presentation; for example, I may provide a media supplement, an Internet assignment, or a chemical demonstration, depending on the topic. A second guiding principle is that the lecture topic should be supported by a corresponding laboratory experiment. For example, when discussing the Bohr atom, I demonstrate emission line spectra in lecture, while students perform the experiment Atomic Fingerprints found in the Pearson Laboratory Manual.
