- Summary:
- "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.
