Basic Concepts Of Chemistry 9E

•Chapter Tutorial Problems – multi-part problems that challenge students to solve objective-targeted problems similar to the ones that appear as examples within the text. These problems provide students with a step-by-step feedback on how to approach each part of the problem.
•Chapter Synthesis Problems – multi-part problems that relate the chapter and its exercises to the real world of science. Each part of the chapter synthesis problem has answer-specific feedback to help guide the students through each step.
•Office Hour Videos – the authors work through specific end of chapter problems, using a whiteboard with explanatory voice over. Each problem is worked out, with enhancing graphics, in a 2-3 minute video that is designed to provide the same clarification that a student would receive during a lecture or face-to-face meeting.

 

LEO J. MALONE
Leo Malone is a native of Kansas where he received his B.S. in Chemistry from Wichita State University in 1960 and M.S. in Chemistry in 1962. At WSU he worked under the direction of Dr. Robert Christian. He moved on to the University of Michigan where he received his Ph.D. in 1964 under the direction of Dr. Robert Parry. Dr. Malone began his teaching career at Saint Louis University in 1965 where he remained until his retirement as Professor Emeritus in 2005. Although his early research at SLU involved boron hydride chemistry, he eventually concentrated his efforts on the teaching of basic chemistry and in the field of chemical education.
THEODORE(TED) O. DOLTER
Ted Dolter received his B.S. in Chemistry from St. Louis University in 1987, where he was a student of Dr. Malone's. He went on to the University of Illinois where he received a Masters of Chemical Education in 1990. He concurrently earned a secondary teaching certificate, and it was there that he received most of his training in modern educational theory. After six years of teaching high school chemistry and evening courses at Southwestern Illinois College, he joined the faculty at SWIC full time. He served as department chair of the Physical Science Department from 2004 to 2010, during which time he was in charge of the department's outcomes assessment activities. Professor Dolter's background in educational training and his knowledge of the needs of the growing numbers of community college students compliment Dr. Malone's years of traditional university educational experience. Together, they have produced a text that remains flexible and applicable to the rapidly changing face of today's post-secondary student population.

Math Check – allows students to quickly assess the needed basic math skill. If the student is not mathematically ready to tackle a text problem, he or she is referred back to chapter 1 or the math appendices for further review.
