Sommario/riassunto |
|
This Companion Textbook supplements the ActivEpi CD-ROM, sold separately. The ActivEpi CD-ROM provides a multimedia presentation of concepts, commonly taught in an introductory epidemiology course. ActivEpi mixes a full array of media to motivate, explain, visualize and apply epidemiological concepts. Virtually all of the material on the ActivEpi CD-ROM is included in the Companion Textbook. Because individuals differ in their learning skills, the ActivEpi CD-ROM and the ActivEpi Companion Textbook offer readers different but related options on how to learn epidemiology. The Textbook can be used as a hardcopy reference of the textual materials contained on the CD-ROM, as a resource for the practice exercises, as a general reference, or even a self-contained textbook. The ActivEpi CD-ROM uses: Video to instill real-world motivation for learning and applying epidemiological concepts Narrated Expositions to teach the concepts using high-quality audio synchronized with text, pictures, and animations Quizzes to provide self-evaluation of basic terms and concepts Data Desk to provide practice applying the methods learned to real data Navigational Tools such as a dynamic table of contents, index and glossary, to allow |
