LearningCurve adaptive quizzes that help you get through the reading and do well on your exams.

Each chapter of your textbook comes with a LearningCurve quiz that will test you on the key concepts from the book in a fun, game-like environment. You’ll get feedback as you answer the questions and each question links to the relevant section of the chapter where the given topic is addressed so you can quickly re-read the sections that you’re having trouble with.

Map quizzes, timeline activities, and flashcards that test your knowledge of important names, dates, and places.

Test yourself on the important names, dates, and places discussed in each chapter by completing the map quizzes and timeline activities and reviewing the flashcards that define the significant terms listed at the end of each chapter. You can find all of these activities in the Resources menu, which you can access by clicking on the Resources icon on the left-hand side of the LaunchPad homepage.

Guided Reading Exercises that aid note-taking on the important topics in each chapter.

Download the Guided Reading Exercises from the LaunchPad homepage or from the Resources menu to help you take notes as you read the book and, later, use them to study for the exam. Each Guided Reading Exercise is in a Word document so you can save it to your computer.

Easy-to-find assignments so you won’t miss any due dates.

Find your homework and quiz assignments at the top of the homepage or by clicking on the calendar icon on the left-hand side of the homepage.

A user’s manual and tech support are at your fingertips in case you get stuck.
