“I believe that the F.A. Davis materials played a key role in our students’ success.“
Cynthia has nothing but positive feedback about the F.A. Davis products. ü Easy to understand ü Clearly organized ü Consistency across all products ü Right level for LPNs/LVNs
“The books are easy to understand. Content is clearly organized and breaks concepts down in a way that helps students get through the material.” She appreciates the consistent organization across books. “It makes it easy to pick up a FAD book in any subject and start using it.” Cynthia also notes that the content is at the right level for LPN students. “The PN books aren’t as deep. It’s the right amount of information that they need to know as practical nurses.” She is also a fan of the instructor materials. “I have access to so many resources. I use the workbooks, image bank, additional test questions, and PowerPoints.” Cynthia and her students also recently began using the Davis Advantage online modules that come with the books. “At this point, we’re making it available to students as additional resources to help them learn the material. I do assign some modules at the beginning of the course for a complete or incomplete grade, and we also do some of the activities together as a class.” Cynthia appreciates how well the F.A. Davis solution works in their concept-based curriculum. “The materials work well for our CBC. The concepts that we do are organized by systems, so it’s really easy to go through each book and pick out the material we need within the chapters.”
