Summary

Instructor Resources: PowerPoint slides and answers to capstone case studies.

60 New Cases Included!

Fifteen new in-depth capstone cases expand on concepts covered in the book. The capstone cases can be used as problem sets or exams, or they can form the foundation for a case-study approach to classroom instruction. Answers to the capstone cases are stored in a secure page in the online Instructor’s Resources for this book. In-chapter cases are accompanied by in-chapter answer guides. These case/ answer guide combinations are presented as an integral component of the learning process offered by the book. By working through the cases, using the answer guides, students will learn new material and gain application reinforcement of concepts presented elsewhere in the chapters. End-of-chapter cases provide additional exercises for application practice. Answers are provided at the end of the book so that students can self-quiz and use the cases to build their understanding of epidemiology.
