Case Studies
South Suburban College, IL
Students in Instructor Amy Kelley’s on-ground Prealgebra and Beginning Algebra classes use MyMathLab for homework; online students in both courses use the program for homework, quizzes, and exams. “MyMathLab offers students the opportunity to practice concepts and visualize how concepts build on each other,” says Kelley. “It gives them a more realistic idea of the amount of practice it takes to master a mathematical concept.”
Kelley has seen increased student success with her use of MyMathLab in both on-ground and online environments. “Pass rates in classes that required MyMathLab were higher than those in classes that did not require it,” she says.
Due to the increased achievement she’s observed, Kelley plans to require MyMathLab in all future courses, and she looks forward to using more of MyMathLab’s features, including chats and review sessions.
