It is so easy to set up and manage a MyMathLab course for an internet math course. Posting schedules and expiration dates of announcements, homework assignments, and online tests can be done ahead of time. I will not use other packages to run my online math classes.”

With MyMathLab, your students can:
You can use MyMathLab to:
MyMathLab automatically grades online homework assignments and tracks all student results, so you can spend less time grading and more time teaching. By using MyMathLab to monitor your students' results, you can quickly assess how individual students -- or the class as a whole -- are progressing with specific topics.
There are several training resources available to help you get started with MyMathLab. Go to Tours & Training to see what is available.
Yes, you can use the MathXL Exercise Builder available in most MyMathLab courses to create your own custom algorithmic exercises, and you can include these exercises on homework assignments, quizzes, and tests.
Your access to CourseCompass and your MyMathLab course is good for three years.
Students can access the course for as long as you make it available. You specify a Course End Date when you create the course (and can modify it later).
Yes. You need to create the course, click the Adopt button, and give the students your course ID before they can enroll in your MyMathLab course.
Students can log into MyMathLab from a school computer in a lab or library, print out their MyMathLab homework assignment, and work through the assignment on paper. They can then enter the answers in MyMathLab when they are next on campus. Make sure the computers in any labs where your students will be using MyMathLab have been set up with the appropriate plug-ins and players.
You can easily hide or remove chapters, sections, and other resources you don't plan to use from your MyMathLab course.
Yes, you can make course content invisible to your students by using the Control Panel to change visibility.
In most courses, faculty resources are located in the Instructor Resources area of the Control Panel.
Yes. You can use MyMathLab's Test Manager to set a variety of options for online tests, including password protection, time limits, and expiration dates.
Yes. Each MyMathLab course contains sample chapter tests you can modify, or you can create your own tests using an online testbank of items correlated to the exercises in your textbook. You can also upload TestGen tests into your MyMathLab course.
No. Your students' results on MyMathLab tests are tracked in the MyMathLab Gradebook, which is designed specifically for Mathematics and Statistics. You can access this Gradebook through the MyMathLab area of the Control Panel, and your students see links to their Gradebook throughout the Course Documents area.
Yes. The MyMathLab gradebook allows you to export the data in a comma separated value (.csv) file format, and you can open the .csv file in a spreadsheet program.
