Chris Schultz, Math 10 coordinator, reports that MyMathLab has improved communication between her and her Introductory Algebra and Intermediate Algebra students. The increased communication, plus the program’s immediate feedback and interactive features, are invaluable for students who need to build confidence in their mathematical abilities. “Students use the help buttons to aid in their practice,” says Schultz. “The immediate feedback keeps students from learning incorrectly and coincides with the way they learn today.”
The failure rate across all sections of Introductory Algebra and Intermediate Algebra decreased 1.6 percent from 2008 to 2009. In addition, 72 percent of the original enrollments in the fall 2009 Introductory Algebra and Intermediate Algebra courses successfully completed the course.
