Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology & Immunology
I love all the visual Mnemonics books by Laurie L. Marbas. The micro/immuno is one of my favorites. The virus section is excellent, as are many other areas. If you are a visual learner, this is an absolute must have book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent
This book is great, and I used it for my regular micro class and while studying for Step 1 and found it extremely useful.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Excellent choice
I just finished Step 1 and I can honestly say that these drawings were a life saver. I could answer 90% of the questions from quick recall from these drawings. I would recommend them to anyone.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Clever
I truly enjoyed studying with this book. It is a unique way to memorize tons of material. I also added other drawings on top of the original drawings. You won't be able to forget these great illustrations and they are fast once you get the hang of it. I only wish I had the rest of the series sooner.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - bogus
I wasn't impressed. Something's amiss when you see two bogus, fabricated "5 star" ratings that sound about the same immediately after the book is published. I'd bet my stethoscope that the author posted those. Buyer beware.
