We will either select or be assigned a textbook for our course. Either way we must be familiar with the contents and delivery of the text in order for it to be an effective teaching tool.Unfortunately,for someone like me who teaches Anatomy and Physiology for Pre-nursing students , situations arise when books assigned to me are too complicated and difficult for my students to understand. When I start teaching the class I really have no option but to use the assigned textbook .The ideal situation therefore would be for the instructor to be the one to select the appropriate textbook with clear and simple explanations. I hope to get reactions and others to share their experiences.
