New! Abnormal PsychologyNow™

Assign—Assess—Track Progress—Success!
Save time while giving your students personalized, interactive study help!
Abnormal PsychologyNow™ is a web-based, diagnostic study system that helps
students make every minute count—and improve their performance in your course. This
dynamic program identifies each student’s unique study needs, then provides a
personalized Study Plan that helps students focus their efforts on the concepts they’re
having the most difficulty mastering. Although students can use Abnormal
PsychologyNow with no setup or involvement by you, an Instructor Gradebook is
available for you to track and monitor progress. Student grades can also be exported from
Abnormal PsychologyNow to a WebCT
®
or Blackboard
®
gradebook. Here’s how the
program works:
Diagnostic Pre-Tests
After reading the text chapter, your students take the assignable online Pre-Test to get an
initial assessment of their grasp of key chapter concepts.
Personalized Study Plans
After automatically grading each student’s Pre-Test, Abnormal PsychologyNow
provides a personalized Study Plan. The plan—which focuses on concepts revealed by
the Pre-Test as needing further study—directs students to learning modules that feature
videos of real clients and other resources. For more help with tough concepts, students
can watch Video Concept Reviews featuring Mark Durand (see page P-7 for details).
Post-Tests to Measure Concept Mastery
After working through the study plan, students complete the Post-Test (which is also
assignable) to assess their progress. Abnormal PsychologyNow automatically records
the grades in the Instructor Gradebook.
Free! Access to Abnormal PsychologyNow is available upon request—at no
additional cost

Student Learning Tools—Helping Your Students Succeed in Your Course
To help students master the topics presented in the book, we offer several learning tools
for every chapter. They include:
• A graded chapter quiz and visual summary in the book’s end-of-chapter material.
• An interactive student CD-ROM that allows students to see what having these disorders
is like and what impact they have upon people’s lives.
• Video Concept Reviews within the online diagnostic tool Abnormal PsychologyNow
(http://now.ilrn.com/durand_barlow_4e), in which Mark Durand briefly reviews
difficult concepts so students can “hear them again” before the test!
