What students say

"We get set homework every week. For me the benefit of MyMathLab is actually working through the examples that we've been taught in class. That's how I learn maths."

- Llinos Owen, student, Engineering Maths, University of Liverpool, UK (MyMathLab)

"I just wanted to let you know how helpful the Mastering Biology is! It makes me study better, almost forces me to it! And it is a perfect combination between pictures, videos and text. It's genius!"

- Renee Bakkemo, student, University of Essex (MasteringBiology)

"It is like having a teacher by your side, you learn it a lot quicker than usual homework!"

- Jannick Mikkelsen, student, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark (MyEconLab)

"[MyFinanceLab is] like a personal tutor laying the path toward your learning finance."

"The average mark is approximately 10% higher than it was previously. Furthermore, the failure rate has decreased significantly - from 32% to 5-14% in recent years."

- Marion Birch and Niels Walet, Manchester University (MasteringPhysics)

"Since I've been using it my pass rates have gone up - the first year I used the system it was quite striking."

- Carrie Rutherford, London South Bank University, UK (MyMathLab)

"Results show that these students performed on average 10% better on the final exam."
