“Using MyMathLab to do homework was quite easy. Doing my homework online gave much practice for the test given in class. What I truly like about MML is that it tells how to work out each problem and what formulas to use. By using MML I found myself better prepared for the multiple choice final exam.”

Santa Ana College (CA)

“I have no problem with telling you how much my math lab has helped me.... I have been able to help myself by going on the computer and using the video demonstrations, the online textbook, or even just by doing my homework and getting practice with the problems. This type of preparation has increased my preparedness for every math test that I have taken since using the program. This has pretty much been the only thing ever to help me grasp concepts in math and I hope that you keep it for future semesters.”

Advantages to using MyMathLab as part of a math course:
• Phone-based tutoring available (800 number)
• Video based lectures to refresh students’ memories or in case a student misses a class
• Homework tutoring: If a student doesn't know how to work a problem, there is assistance for that particular type of problem.
• Miscellaneous study aides: There are tutorials on how to take notes, among others.
• Immediate feedback: You know right away if you are doing something correctly. You can also keep doing problems until you get them right. This way, if you’re weak in one area, you get extra practice.
• You can work problems out and get face-to-face help if the online tutorials aren't enough.

“I really enjoyed using the math site because I was enjoying my homework and actually doing my homework. I was never one to do my homework, but with this I had no choice and it was fun. I also like that it had guided solutions for everything. So if I got stuck I was easily pulled out with the help.”

This is my first time using the program and I just wanted to say how much I love it! I have struggled my entire life with math (this is my second time taking mo3) but using the math lab forces me to do my hw and do it right. It also makes it easy to study difficult problems by using the step by step help next to the problem. I spent hundreds of dollars on a tutor last semester but the math lab program is just as good as a tutor!

I also think the amount of hw given to us is perfect and I love the little quizzes. I will redo each one until I get 100% which is a very rewarding thing and also really helps me understand the information.

I wanted to let you know this so that you can continue to use math lab in your future classes because it really is beneficial. And so that you know some of us are really prospering due to the program. I really feel like I understand everything we have learned so far.

“I enjoyed using the online homework. It helped me out as far as giving hints if I got the answer wrong the first time. I kept copies of the various online homework problems and then wrote down what formula I used and how I got there.”

See what students at Waubonsee Community College have to say about MyMathLab:

I would have to say that the show me an example and the help me solve this links on mymathlab are the most helpful. It is easier to walk through the examples online then to see all the steps all at once in the textbook.

I feel it is very important to watch the video presentations under mymathlab in addition to reading the chapter. It is very important to complete all homework assignments and do all assigned homework for each chapter. If you are having trouble with homework always click on the help me solve this links. It is a great deal of help.

My advice is to work through every single one of the practice exercises given in each chapter and utilize the example exercises and the "help me solve this" as much as possible.  I learned more about algebra in this class than I have ever before.  I loved the format and forcing myself to work through every problem, even the ones that didn't necessarily count toward a grade - helped me immensely!

The video presentations helped a lot. They were as if you were in a classroom with a teacher.

On homework assignments, if you get an answer wrong, click the "similar problem" button. This gives you a chance to re-do the problem and get it right. You can keep trying until you get it. So every homework assignment can be 100%. Also on homework assignments, use the Ask My Instructor button if you need to. Sometimes it helps to have it explained. Take each practice test as many times as you feel you need to. The test and the practice test are very similar. So not only will you be familiar with the material, you'll get a sense of the time limit. Use the multimedia learning materials. I especially found the video lectures helpful. If you have technical difficulties, call for assistance. They are very helpful, even on a Saturday morning.
