New LearningCurve adaptive quizzing ensures students do the reading and come to class prepared. Teachers love assigning and students love using LearningCurve, a game-like online quizzing that adapts to what students already know and helps them practice what they need to learn. Cross-references in the book prompt students to log in and check their mastery of the material they have just read. When they get a question wrong, feedback tells them why and links them to the book for review—with a chance to try again! Every new book comes with a code that unlocks LearningCurve; if students are using a used book, they can purchase access online. And when instructors assign LearningCurve, students come to class better prepared.
More primary sources than ever give students ample opportunity to practice historical thinking. Abundant primary source features—including twice the number of multi-document features than the last edition and 9 all NEW visual source features—give students ample opportunity to think critically and engage with the past.
Briefer and more affordable than ever, the concise format is a manageable choice for students and instructors. With a new lower price and a new, smaller format with a narrative that is 15 percent shorter than the fourth edition and 20 percent shorter than the full-length parent text, the fifth concise edition is easy to carry and easy on the wallet. The updated design welcomes students into the narrative and offers clear visual reminders of what is important.
