Study Guide for Campbell Biology

I ordered this book expecting that every thing about the content, cover to cover, to be the same besides the cover. I was really upset at first when I saw , at a glance, that some of the pictures were different. Before really checking I completely over reacted and assumed everything was different. So I compared this book page by page to the original 10th edition hardcover at my school. Everything about the written context (material) is the same. There are a few chapter pictures that are different, a few in-between chapter stories that are different (which I do not need for school), but most importantly some of the chapter headings are written different and are in different order. An example chapter 7 in the softcover reads "Cell Structure and Function" when in the hardcover its "Tour of the Cell" chapter 6. About 10 chapters are in different order from chapter 1- chapter 25. Other than finding what chapter is what and the headings being different its exactly the same. Its also over $100 cheaper than the hardcover. I wanted a new fresh copy without any markings so this was a great deal.

This book must be popular bc it looks like it over lived its shelf life. This was an easy to read textbook. I hope next time I rent books the next ones looks a lot nicer. I was gentle with the book bc I didnt want it to completely fall apart. I do need to rent this book again in the future for my next bio class and since its worded well I think I'll do well in the next class.

This study guide has saved me!! It's perfect - it gets right to the concepts, easy to use. It's worth every penny! Definitely a time saver.

My son just took Biology class in a mini-semester (6 weeks). When he studied without this study guide he made a B on his test. Then the study guide came in and he made A's on all the tests after using this study guide! So I am a BIG fan! No matter which edition book you have this study guide would be useful to get more sample questions and answers than what is at the end of the chapters.

Good review book for Biology.

A must have for any college biology course that requires in depth knowledge of the subject. I would read from this study guide right before any tests or quizzes, as it is nice and condensed with only important information. Each chapter is around 4-6 pages instead of the 30 or so in the textbook. Terms to know are in bold and have definitions right on the side, and there is a summary/questions at the end of each chapter.

Perfect addition to the associated edition of Campbell's Biology. Especially good if you are studying Biology as an independent learner. Combination of text + the study guide gives a well rounded view of Biology. You will be flipping back and forth between the text and the study guide!

This made such a difference in my grandson's grade in biology. He went from a C to an A in 6 weeks.

The best guide for undergraduate students

Love the book!
