Support students with meaningful practice

Interactive Exercises with Immediate Feedback

Students are motivated to succeed when they're engaged in the learning experience and understand the relevance and power of math. Through online homework, students receive immediate feedback and tutorial assistance that motivates them to do more, which means they retain more knowledge, improve their test scores, and perform better in future courses.

Exercises regenerate algorithmically to give students unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery. Most exercises include learning aids—such as guided solutions, sample problems, and extra help at points-of-use—and offer feedback when students enter incorrect answers.

Personalize learning and reinforce key concepts

Personalized Study Plan

The Study Plan within this MyLab gives students the opportunity to test themselves on key concepts and skills. Because questions within Chapter Assignments are tied to learning objectives, MyLab assesses student comprehension and provides a Personalized Study Plan based on their strengths and weaknesses. Personalized Study Plan activities may include eText reading assignments and review, videos, or animations.

MyLab reports the Study Plan results to the instructor. Based on these reports, you can adapt course material to suit the needs of individual students or the entire class.

Additional Features

A powerful homework and test manager

A powerful homework and test manager lets you create, import, and manage online homework assignments, quizzes, and tests that are automatically graded. You can choose from a wide range of assignment options, including time limits, proctoring, and maximum number of attempts allowed. The bottom line: MyLab means less time grading and more time teaching.

Comprehensive online course content

Filled with a wealth of content that is tightly integrated with your textbook, MyLab lets you easily add, remove, or modify existing instructional material. You can also add your own course materials to suit the needs of your students or department. In short, MyLab lets you teach exactly as you'd like.

Automatic Grading and Performance Reporting

Automatic grading saves you time, while visual reports allow you to quickly identify students who are struggling. The reports also let you assess overall class and individual student achievement.

Robust gradebook tracking

The Gradebook offers an easy way for you and your students to see their performance in your course. Item Analysis lets you quickly see trends by analyzing details like the number of students who answered correctly/incorrectly, time on task, and more. And because it's correlated with the AACSB Standards, you can track students' progress toward outcomes that the organization has deemed important in preparing students to be leaders.

Easily scalable and shareable content

MyLab enables you to manage multiple class sections, and lets other instructors copy your settings so a standardized syllabus can be maintained across your department. Should you want to use the same MyLab course next semester, with the same customized settings, you can copy your existing course exactly — and even share it with other faculty members.
