Instructor’s Manual/Test Item File

The Instructor’s Manual provides a chapter outline, test bank, commentary and lesson plan, and a listing of resource references for each chapter. We trust that this material will be particularly helpful for first-time users of the text, although experienced teachers also may find much of value.

Laboratory Manual

The laboratory manual by Cleveland P. Hickman, Jr., Frances M. Hickman, and Lee B. Kats, Laboratory Studies in Integrated Zoology, is designed specifically for a survey course in zoology. The popular redesigned wall chart, "Chief taxonomic subdivisions and organ systems of animals," is available on request.

Computerized Test Bank

Test questions contained in the Instructor’s Manual/Test Item File are available as a computerized test generation system for IBM-compatible and Macintosh computers. Using this MicroTest system, instructors can create tests and quizzes quickly and easily. Instructors can sort questions by type or level of difficulty, and can add their own questions to the bank of questions provided.
