View All Faculty TestimonialsMyMathLab 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.

This has revolutionized the way I teach online mathematics. Even if a student needs help at 1:00 a.m. the night before an exam, it is readily available. This online product 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.

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.

At the Polya Center, the software 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 online. This 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 online environment is more effective than completing it in a traditional environment.

We have been using this in Intermediate Algebra... and in College Algebra. Both of these courses are completely distance courses. I really like it.... 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...!!!
