Book Description

0632045876 978-0632045877 December 14, 2001

Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology and Immunology uses carton drawings that make material easier to learn with tremendous recall months later.

Laurie Marbas, a third year medical student at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, developed this series using "concept diagramming" to shorten her study time and help her recall the facts. Classmates using these drawings reported improved test scores. Students suggested she published her drawings to help other students.

Each page is formatted with plenty of space for notes and reminders, and some students color the organisms for better recall. Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology and Immunology includes sections on parasitology, bacteriology, mycology, virology, and immunology.

Perfect for medical students -- physician assistants, nurse practitioners and related health professionals will also find Visual Mnemonics valuable.



Editorial Reviews

Review

volume and detail of information that we have to learn in medical school in such a short period of time can be overwhelming, but Laurie's Visual Mnemonics makes studying more efficient. I was simply amazed by how quick I learned the material and still remembered the information four months later while studying for finals. -Sheemain Asaria, 2nd year medical student

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and misleading, January 14, 2003
By 
da Snoop (OK, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology and Immunology (Paperback)
The book contains simple doodlings by a med student not systematic visual learning tool as the fancy book cover may lead you to think. Most of the drawings are random and too simple to be a memory aid for more Board-relevant and necessary information. And despite the title, "Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology and Immunology," there are only two mnemonic drawings for the entire immunology section. Only two!
Good effort but not worth the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars bogus, April 20, 2003
By 
hoburglar (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology and Immunology (Paperback)
I wasn't impressed. Something's amiss when you see two bogus, fabricated "5 star" ratings that sound about the same immediately after the book is published. I'd bet my stethoscope that the author posted those. Buyer beware.
