Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing (EAQ) for Structure & Function of the Body, 17th Edition, integrates seamlessly into your course to help students of all skill levels focus their study time and effectively prepare for summative exams and, ultimately, their licensure exam. EAQ is comprised of a bank of high-quality practice questions that allows students to advance at their own pace — based on their performance — through multiple mastery levels for each topic. A comprehensive dashboard allows students to view their progress and stay motivated. The educator dashboard and reporting capabilities enable you to monitor the activity of individual students, assess overall class performance, and identify areas of strength and weakness, ultimately helping to achieve improved learning outcomes and licensure exam pass rates.

    • UNIQUE! Elsevier’s trusted, market-leading content serves as the foundation for all questions, which are written, reviewed, and leveled by experienced educators, item writers, and authors. Each question is accompanied by a specific chapter and page within your Elsevier text for convenient reference.
    • Confidence level indicators allow students to indicate their confidence when submitting answers, providing valuable insight into areas where they might be overconfident and require further study.
    • UNIQUE! Students can practice in Study Mode, which provides immediate feedback, or in Exam Mode where the quiz is timed, and results are summarized at the end.
    • UNIQUE! In addition to detailed rationales for each question, select questions include interactive, multimedia resources such as illustrations, animations, videos, audio clips, summary tables, and study tips to engage students with different learning styles and reinforce challenging material.
    • Engaging, easy-to-use interface ensures that students and educators can navigate through the program with ease.
    • Multiple mastery levels for each topic allow students to progress from one level to the next based on individual performance.
    • The comprehensive student dashboard allows each individual to view their personal learning progress with summaries of their strengths, weaknesses, mastery levels, and normative data.
    • A robust educator dashboard highlights usage and performance summaries; areas of strength and weakness tied to chapters for each student and class; and normative data that educators can use to modify lectures or class activities accordingly.
