Recommend MyEconLab®
Diana Fortier of Waubonsee Community College recommended MyEconLab® to her students for 2 years and eventually made it a requirement.
"Students who are self-motivated to use MyEconLab® and meet deadlines benefit. They learn to ask questions and to get help when and where they need it. In that way, MyEconLab® is an invaluable learning tool."
"MyEconLab® [is] a great tool for running a web-based, principles of economics course. Features like automatically updated grading sheets, study questions and exam problems with an active graphical interface and automated content scheduling all provide the economics professor with exactly what is needed to feel confident in delivering a top-notch on-line economics class."
My students and I had a wonderful time using MyEconLab®’s features. My students especially liked the ‘Self-Study Quiz’ and the ‘Study Plan’ features. With these features, they could build on my lectures and improve their grades.
Furthermore, I extensively used the ‘On-line Quiz’ feature, which offered pre-made quizzes and questions. It allowed efficient time management of administering and grading quizzes for my Economics classes. I would recommend MyEconLab® as a good resource for on-line study help for students and quiz administration.
"I compared this class [using MyEconLab®] with last semester's class [that didn't use MyEconLab®] and found on the first exam both classes scored about the same. Right after that first exam I instituted MyEconLab®. On the next two exams, the class using MyEconLab® improved eight points."
"The students will learn more content [using MyEconLab®] than they would otherwise. They will have a stronger grasp of concepts that will last longer. It's likely to reduce the amount of time required of professors outside of class."
"We used MyEconLab® last year and will use it again this year. Our surveys indicate that the vast majority of students feel it helps them learn better and perform better on tests. Our instructors like it because it allows them to assign problems and practice tests that would otherwise require an army of TAs to grade."
"I like the problems, the appearance, the ease of use, the graphing, and the tests."
