Wheater's Histology
Basic histology isn't the most thrilling of topics, but this book makes it a little less painful.Excellent quality images and easy-to-digest commentary make this text a good supplement to any histology or physiology course.

excellent atlas
If you're taking a histo course, this is a fabulous atlas. Everyone at my school buys it, it has clearly labelled photographs of slides as well as very neat diagrams explaining how certain things work. Includes electron micrographs of cells for which EM's are helpful. Very very good book, I highly recommend it, it helps alot.

A text and an atlas...good at neither
This text tries to be both a text and an atlas in one and is unfortunately good at neither one.The text is very very basic and lacking in detail.The sections are poorly stained, out of focus and do not clearly demonstrate the structures.The pictures are small and of poor quality.Considering the price, I would recommend spending the extra 30-40 bucks and buy Gartner and Hiatt for an atlas and Junquera for a text instead of paying for this text.

!!!!
This book is good but not for beginers or medical students. it's complicated and packed with information, that might not be so important for students.
doesn't have any clinical correlations. i'd suggest the Basic histology book:text and atlas, rather than this one

Very useful for my histology class
I am a medical student and found this textbook very helpful because it was well-organized and full of important information.It's very thorough and complete with great pictures.Also, this book will always serve as a great reference in years to come.My study group and I also used the following which is also on amazon:
Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi (isbn: 0971999686)The questions in the second book were of similar type to the tests in our medical histology class.In fact, we were recommended the second book from our friends at another med school and they found it quite helpful.It goes to show they were right, we all got A's and B's by using these two books. ...

Book Description
In the excitement about the possibilities that instructional technology has opened up for teaching and learning, and in the ensuing discussion of start-up and infrastructure costs, and concerns about access and equity, too little attention had been paid to what students are learning through online courses and on the evaluation of such technologically-mediated courses.

This volume provides an overview of strategies for assessing the contribution of technology and illustrates these with specific examples.

The contributors provide an evaluation framework together with specific examples derived from an extensive instructional technology initiative at a large university. They present a general overview of how to evaluate technology and indicate the importance of the institutional context for technological innovation. The address the nature of potential learning outcomes and illustrate such evaluation methods as multiple iteration strategies, comparison designs, and within-class strategies. Among the pedagogies discussed are virtual and Web-controlled labs, simulations, video, and Web-based research tools.

This book addresses the challenges of assessment in technology-based instruction in higher education, and places them within the context of costs. ... Read more
