I have had several students call and email to thank me for providing access to homework and tutorials online. The biggest difference has been the help for students with learning differences. The ability to do repetitions until the skill has been mastered helped one woman get her first A in mathematics.

MyMathLab has revolutionized the way I teach online mathematics. MyMathLab is a '24/7' online tutorial resource for my online AND on campus students. Even if a student needs help at 1:00 a.m. the night before an exam, it is readily available in MyMathLab. MyMathLab is also an outstanding aid for our students in that it is text specific. That is, my students can go online and get help if they are stuck on a particular homework problem. A very similar problem will be presented to the student, enabling them to then transfer their learning to the problem at hand.

At the Polya Center, MyMathLab is used primarily for completing homework assignments. Students may select to complete their assignments in a traditional manner, from the textbook, or by using the homework/tutorial utility in MML. The MML delivery system has several advantages, chief among them immediate feedback on every question. A single teacher cannot possibly review every problem a student works in the traditional textbook-delivery environment, and feedback is inherently delayed. With the electronic grading process, students get hints, step-by-step help, and positive feedback every time they complete work correctly. This builds momentum and corrects problems before they have a chance to solidify. For most students, completing homework in the MML environment is more effective than completing it in a traditional environment.

Theresa Allen, University of Idaho

We have been using MyMathLab in Intermediate Algebra... and in College Algebra. Both of these courses are completely distance courses. I really like MML.... For the students that utilize the program correctly and keep up, it is working out very well.  My students are liking the program and learning (at least so far -- looking at HW and test scores). Support has been responsive, and I like the fact that things can be corrected much faster than in [other programs] so they are fixed before many students encounter them instead of after everyone has struggled through errors. Thanks for listening and caring...!!!

Shawna Haider, Salt Lake Community College

MyMathLab is one of the most reliable of all online Math programs. After teaching with MML I wouldn't want to go back to the traditional way of teaching Math. MML stimulates better student/teacher interaction in a lab setting. It tracks and grades homework for you. And it's a great tutorial for students when they get stuck.

Sheila Pisa, Riverside Community College

I feel the course content is very good. If a student reads the multimedia text, uses the video and audio links, and works the Tracked Tutorial Exercises, Practice Tutorial Exercises, and Student Study Guide they will learn mathematics. This would be perfect for our lecture class students to do re-testing. It will also be perfect for offering an online course. I want to become very proficient at using [the testing features] of MyMathLab to make tests easier for our students to take.
