Instructor Features


Hands on practice. Hands off grading.
MyFinanceLab® solves one of the biggest problems in finance: students learn better when they practice with homework problems, but grading multi-part exercises is prohibitively time consuming. Explore all that MyFinanceLab has to offer instructors below.

Algorithmically Generated Values

MyFinanceLab exercises are taken directly from your textbook's end-of-chapter exercises and enhanced with algorithmically generated values.

Students can work the exercises over and over again with new values for additional practice.

 

You can assign the same exercises as homework, quizzes, or tests and know that students will be working different values.

Extra Help for Students

MyFinanceLab contains a number of tutorial tools and learning aids that give students the help they need when they need it.

Exercises provide step-by-step instruction, input-specific feedback, and hints, and may link to spreadsheets, sample problems, or the exact spot in the eText that addresses the learning objective of the problem.

Personalized Study Plan

Students can generate a personalized study plan by taking pre-loaded sample tests.

You can view the students' study plans from the Gradebook and use the mastery icons to see how they're doing on their own.

Test Bank Integration

The test bank exercises are available in the Homework and Text Managers for inclusion on assignments.

Since these exercises do not appear on the student Study Plan, you can add them to quizzes and tests as fresh questions.

Coordinator Courses

Juggling multiple sections or want to set up one course for the whole department to use? Set your MyFinanceLab course up as a Coodinator Course!

With the Group Admin option, you can manage multiple course sections at the same time by creating a Coordinator Course.

 

After you've set the course up the way you want it, you or your colleagues can copy this course to create sections, or "Member courses." Changes to the Coordinator course will ripple down to all its members, so changes need only be made once.

Announcement Manager

Keep your students on track with the MyFinanceLab Announcement Manager.

The home page shows students "what's due" reminders and gives you the power to post announcements in Coordinator Courses that automatically display in Member Courses. You can reorder announcements and set start and end times for each announcement.
