Test Bank: With about 4,000 questions, ranging from multiple choice to short essays to mathematical problems, out Test Bank allows you to mix and match types of questions, including questions about the video series, OM in the News, etc. Questions can be scrambled so students see differing versions–or you can add your own favorites to the system.
Learning Aids: When students are trying to answer a homework problem and they run into a roadblock, they can turn to “Question Help” once you have activated that MyLab feature. Four help options will be available: (1) E-text will take them to the proper page in the book to review: (2) Videos of similar problems being solved by the authors may be selected; (3) the “Ask my Instructor” button emails you (or your TA) a screen capture of the problem, with the data the student has entered, along with the student’s comment; and (4) “Help me solve this” provides a similar problem, with step-by-step help as the student walks through the problem.
Learning Catalytics: Do you remember the old system called “clickers” allowing students to buy a clicker for use in answering questions you pose in class? MyLab includes this feature free, where students can use their cell phones or laptops to respond. This is a popular tool that increases active learning. We provide 100’s of pre-written multiple choice questions, or you can create your own. (You find this feature under “Course Home”‘ the scroll down to “enrich your Course”).
Instructor’s Resource Page: When you click on “Instructor Resources”, select “What else do you need”, for our invaluable Instructor’s Resource Manual, all the Powerpoints, the Solutions Manual, Test Item files, and 3 Excel-based games for class use.
