Teaching with MyEconLab
MyEconLab is designed to help your students practice and test the skills needed to succeed in your course.

• Study Plan

  Students can work the problems in the Study Plan and the Practice Tests on their own; you do not need to set anything up. When a student takes a Practice Test, their results are reflected in the Study Plan. Sections for which all questions were answered correctly will be marked with a star to demonstrate mastery. Sections for which some questions were answered incorrectly will be marked with a red arrow , indicating that more study is needed.

  Students can work the problems in the Study Plan and then re-take a Practice Test to demonstrate increased mastery. Note: Homework and practice results do not update the Study Plan. Students must take a quiz or a test to update their Study Plan.

• Assigned Work

  If you wish to create your own Homework, Quizzes, or Tests, the tools to do so are located in the Homework Manager and the Quiz & Test Manager Detailed instructions can be found in the Instructor Help.

  Before you assign work for credit, you may want to assign questions from the section called "Get Started with MyEconLab," which you will find at the beginning of Chapter 1 in your course. These questions will walk your students through the basics of using the MyEconLab instructional window, including:

  • Using the graphing tools
  • Tutorial mode
  • Using the learning aids
  • Quiz and test mode
