Instructors use MyLab Management for increased student preparation, class participation and test results.

International Business Instructors at Farmingdale State College, New York encouraged their students to read the textbook prior to lecture and complete MyLab homework assignments. They noticed an improvement in student preparation, an increase in class participation and a positive correlation between the scores attained by students doing the homework and their test scores. Those scoring highly on homework exercises also scored substantially higher on test scores and final course grades. Most students reported that the simulation exercises in MyLab Management helped them practice decision making and apply the chapter content to a real-world business challenge.
