This textbook is focused specifically on the principles and concepts of a foundational Cell Biology course. The book takes a more conceptual approach that highlights how scientists study cells, and how to analyze and interpret experimental results. Rather than focusing primarily on historical experiments that were key to our understanding of cells, the book explores a range of more modern experimental techniques so that students can begin to understand how cells are studied now, in the 21^st century. The book includes over 200 newly created illustrations and animations, that were specifically designed for this book, as well as review questions at the end of each chapter, to help students explore and understand the material.

Inclusive Teaching Online: Evidence-Based Strategies to Support Student Success in Higher Education addresses the complexities of teaching diverse and often nontraditional adult students in asynchronous online environments. Centered in evidence-based approaches for creating welcoming, engaging, and supportive online classrooms, the text illustrates what inclusive online teaching looks like across disciplines in higher education. The book begins by discussing a curated set of learning design frameworks that complement the facilitation strategies recommended throughout the book, then unpacks key barriers that online students face. The heart of the book is a tool kit of inclusive facilitation strategies, including crafting instructor self-introductions; implementing practical tactics for getting to know students; forging meaningful connections; and making intentional choices that foster learning, belonging, and a sense of community among learners. The text includes considerations and special advice about some of the more challenging aspects of delivering online courses, such as facilitating discussions around a complex topic or teaching social justice themes. Ideal for instructors and teaching assistants, this book is a comprehensive guide to applying inclusive teaching practices online; it also offers valuable insights for instructional designers and faculty developers, student affairs personnel, academic advisors, and higher education administrators—making the case for intentional choices that connect explicitly to the needs of online learners.

Open Judicial Politics 3E Vol.2

The impetus for this volume was a multitude of conversations regarding pedagogy and teaching related to our judicial process courses. Based on these conversations, we identified four main threads or needs of our colleagues: First, many of us bring or want to bring more “political science” into our classes, though we also want to avoid the high costs of reinventing successful existing courses to do so. Second, our programs all require a political methodology course, and we want to reinforce those lessons in our substantive courses. We want to encourage our students’ understanding of how to read and understand research studies as well as how to craft their own research questions. Third, we want to keep our courses as current as possible. And fourth, we wanted to find a way to bring the cost of our courses down, as we see so many students struggle with the high costs of a college degree. This volume (as well as any future editions) addresses each of these concerns.

Romeo and Juliet

This edition of Romeo and Juliet was edited by students for students. We believe that reliably edited versions of the play should be available for free online. But we wanted ours to be easy to get in other ways as well. The editors—Oregon State University students who remember, far better than their professors, what it was like to read the play for the first time—carefully considered every pronoun, punctuation mark, and footnote. Our goal: to make a friendly, confidence-building edition that supported classroom activities at the high school and college level.

During the past few years, we’ve witnessed how interconnected our world is. These instances of global interconnection—both positive and negative—have differing impacts on people based on gender while also creating and reinforcing the ways people experience gender. We see that experiences of gender are always shaped by nationality, race/ethnicity, sexual identity, social class, ability, age, and religion. This social construction of gender, its shaping of the world, and its effects on individuals and groups of people are at the core of this textbook.
