Comments

Overall, a good resource. It would be useful for students in a regional-based anatomy course. I plan to use this with my students.

It would be helpful to have more variety in types of questions, as all are free response. However, that does not detract from the quality of the text.

Comments

This is a good companion workbook or Study guide to supplement a Traditional Anatomy Textbook. A good feature of the book is that Instructor can print out pages that are useful for their class for the students. Even though this book has fourteen detail sections to help review the Human Anatomy unfortunately there are no drawings of the body to go along with the questions which would be helpful. This textbook would also be helpful if a student would like to refresh or test their knowledge of Human Anatomy because the book does have an answer keys to the questions. I would use sections of this book in an Human Anatomy as a study guide and use some of the questions in quizzes or exam.
