New! Abnormal PsychologyNow™

Assign—Assess—Track Progress—Success!

Save time while giving your students personalized, interactive study help!

Abnormal PsychologyNow™ is a web-based, diagnostic study system that helps students make every minute count—and improve their performance in your course. This dynamic program identifies each student's unique study needs, then provides a personalized Study Plan that helps students focus their efforts on the concepts they're having the most difficulty mastering. Although students can use Abnormal PsychologyNow with no setup or involvement by you, an Instructor Gradebook is available for you to track and monitor progress. Student grades can also be exported from Abnormal PsychologyNow to a WebCT^® or Blackboard^® gradebook. Here's how the program works:

Diagnostic Pre-Tests

After reading the text chapter, your students take the assignable online Pre-Test to get an initial assessment of their grasp of key chapter concepts.

Personalized Study Plans

After automatically grading each student's Pre-Test, Abnormal PsychologyNow provides a personalized Study Plan. The plan—which focuses on concepts revealed by the Pre-Test as needing further study—directs students to learning modules that feature videos of real clients and other resources. For more help with tough concepts, students can watch Video Concept Reviews featuring Mark Durand (see page P-7 for details).

Post-Tests to Measure Concept Mastery

After working through the study plan, students complete the Post-Test (which is also assignable) to assess their progress. Abnormal PsychologyNow automatically records the grades in the Instructor Gradebook.

Free! Access to Abnormal PsychologyNow is available upon request—at no additional cost

Student Learning Tools—Helping Your Students Succeed in Your Course

To help students master the topics presented in the book, we offer several learning tools for every chapter. They include:

• A graded chapter quiz and visual summary in the book's end-of-chapter material.

• An interactive student CD-ROM that allows students to see what having these disorders is like and what impact they have upon people's lives.

• Video Concept Reviews within the online diagnostic tool Abnormal PsychologyNow (http://now.ilrn.com/durand_barlow_4e), in which Mark Durand briefly reviews difficult concepts so students can “hear them again” before the test!
