Each exercise in MyMathLab links students directly to the video for viewing.
New Student and Instructor Resources
- Student Success Tips Videos are 3- to 5-minute video segments designed to be a daily reminder to students to continue practicing and maintaining good organizational and study habits. They are organized in three categories and are available in MyMathLab and the Interactive DVD Lecture Series. The categories are:
- Videos that apply to any college course in general, such as Time Management.
- Videos that apply to any mathematics course. One example is based on understanding that mathematics is a course that requires homework to be completed in a timely fashion.
- Section- or content-specific videos that help students avoid common mistakes or better understand concepts that often prove challenging.
- NEW! The Video Organizer is designed to help students take notes and work practice exercises while watching the Interactive Lecture Series (available in MyMathLab and on DVD).
