The “Big Picture” highlighting chapter contents at the outset in a bulleted list
“Now You Can Do It” exercises in the margins next to selected example solutions, direct students to exercises at the end of the chapter that require the technique explained in that example. With this, students can put what they’ve learned into practice immediately.
