Question 24

Answer

Yes. Unless otherwise specified, all zyBooks are beginner-friendly.

Answer

It depends on your learning style and speed. We estimate taking about 48 hours to read through the material and complete the interactive quizzes at regular speed. Each zyBook comes with 1 year access, and you should have more than enough time to complete and revise the material with regular reading.

Answer

zyBooks are like interactive, digital textbooks. By incorporating available technology, zyBooks make learning fun, interactive and engaging – all while drastically reducing the time spent on reading long texts.

Answer

zyBooks comprise the same content as a textbook but with minimal text and maximum interactivity. Interactive charts and quizzes are strategically placed, allowing students to cement newly learnt concepts. Some zyBooks also come with zyLabs, which gives immediate feedback when used. This minimises the time spent on grading and rectifying mistakes.

Answer

No. If zyLabs are included, it will be specified in the course page.

Answer

zyLabs are online lab environments that are integrated into their respective zyBooks. Through zyLabs, you can practice your new skills and obtain immediate feedback and grades. No additional downloading of software required.

Question 25

I have no prior experience. Will I be able to understand the content taught in the zyBooks?

Question 26

How much time do I have to spend to complete the course?

Question 27

Is there a certification examination?

No.
