Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent visual study aid Comment: This book will help with your microbiology class, visual aids ar extremely helpful in the learning process. Customer Rating: Summary: Microbiology Coloring Book Comment: Excellent book! Superb condition and prompt shipment.
The book far exceeded my expectation. A+ Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent study tool Comment: I'm new to Microbiolgy and didn't know where or how to start studying. My textbook was just too huge. I felt a little silly ordering a coloring book but it has become a great way for me to flesh out key concepts and become familiar with the vocabulary.
Each drawing comes with a detailed and easy to read description on the opposing page. Something about reading a paragraph and then coloring in the applicable section makes the information easy to understand.
It's also a great way to get a little quick studying done. Each picture can be colored and reviewed in about 15 minutes (although I take a little longer just to really absorb the material).
Thanks for the great book! I've already ordered the Physiology and Anatomy coloring books to use next semester.
Customer Rating: Summary: Very Helpful Comment: I am currently in Microbiology and this book is very helpful with its layout. I am a visual learner and this book has exceeded my expectations so far. The only complaint/comment I have is that the pictures are very small and compact therefore making it hard to color with anything other than colored pencils. I would have liked crayon as they have better colors but beggers can't be choosers. Great book overall!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Paper is too thin, colors bleed through, otherwise it is terrific Comment: I took microbiology and anatomy at the same time. I used coloring books in both classes and they were a big help. The only complaint I have about the microbiology book is that the paper is thin, lighter than the paper stock used in the anatomy coloring book. I placed a paper between the pages so the markers didn't bleed onto the next plate, but you could see the colors through the page and sometimes it was distracting trying to read the information on the page. I tried coloring with pencils and it worked out fine, it just takes longer to use pencils as opposed to markers.
I highly recommend the book if you are a visual and tactile learner.
