Instructor Testimonials
Here's what instructors across the country have to say about MyMathLab and MyStatLab and how the technology has changed their teaching experiences.
It was great to hear from Math 101 students how MyMathLab helped them to get ready for their quizzes and exams. It is a tremendous help for instructors as well. I teach 120 students this term ; I cannot imagine marking 240 home works per week the way we did before. Thank you for the great product!

One of the benefits of using MyMathLab that I had not anticipated was the way in which I now feel "connected" to my students outside the classroom. The opportunity that students have to seek my assistance via "Ask My Instructor" enables me to help them during evening or weekend hours. This often leads to more productive follow-up discussions at the next class meeting. In essence, this connection has replaced the traditional "office hours" which served only a handful of students.

In this age of technology, consumed by the need for instant gratification, MyMathLab is the perfect supplement to satisfy that inherent desire.

Over the years, MyMathLab has become an integral tool in our math service courses. Even before enrolling, students take the Mathematics Placement Test (MPT) using MyMathTest. With the help of members of the Pearson Team, we developed a placement procedure which basically is “MPT meets math boot camp.” The preliminary data suggests that students, who review math and display mastery of it on our test, do well in their math class. Once in class, students find themselves enrolled in a well coordinated system. The course team leader, a faculty and/or instructor, is in charge of curriculum design, mentoring TAs and Instructors assigned to teach the course, and managing the MyMathLab portion of the course. The team leader coordinates the assignment of homework, quizzes, tests and exams for all sections of the course. As the Vice Chair of the Mathematical Sciences Department, it is my job to make sure that everyone has the tools they need to be successful. We find that MyLabsPlus is an important tool not only to educate individual students but also to enable the TA and instructors to focus on teaching and learning.

I am most fond of the math on demand nature of the website. My students are busy people and they can access their math at any hour of the day.

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...!!!
