Preface to the Instructor xxv MyMathLab for School is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. It combines trusted author content—including full eText and online homework with immediate feedback—with digital tools and a flexible platform to personalize the learning experience and improve results for each student. Corequisite Course Support This MyLab course supports various corequisite course models, including Concurrent (aka just-in-time) and Consecutive (aka front-loaded) models. The MyLab contains all of these learning and assessment resources to support corequisite courses: 1. Complete Corequisite eText based on the material from Intermediate Algebra by Michael Sullivan III. 2. Instructional videos for each corequisite objective. Many of these videos feature Michael Sullivan III in the classroom. 3. Assignable algorithmic exercises for each corequisite objective. 4. Worksheets with instruction and exercises for each corequisite objective. 5. Activities for selected corequisite objectives. 6. Study Skills videos for time management, mindset, stress management, college transition, and more. To help target instruction on corequisite objectives, MyLab includes these pre-made assessments: • Pre-Course Quiz addresses key arithmetic and basic algebra topics and is designed to be administered prior to beginning the course. • Skills Check Quiz for each chapter addresses the prerequisite skills needed for each chapter in precalculus. • Based on the results of these quizzes, students can receive personalized assignments to address objectives that are not mastered. This way, students can focus on just the topics they need help with. Note that the above resources are also designed to provide just-in-time help for students in your regular (non-corequisite) courses. (We understand that almost all students at some point need targeted refreshers on specific prerequisite skills.) MyMathLab for School Student Resources Each student learns at a different pace. Personalized learning pinpoints the precise areas where each student needs practice, giving all students the support they need— when and where they need it—to be successful. Exercises with Immediate Feedback—The exercises in MyMathLab for School reflect the approach and learning style of this text, and regenerate algorithmically to give students unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery. Most exercises include learning aids, such as guided solutions and sample problems, and they offer helpful feedback when students enter incorrect answers. • NEW! ▲ GeoGebra Exercises are gradable graphing exercises that help students demonstrate their understanding. They enable students to interact directly with the graph in a manner that reflects how students would graph on paper. • Setup & Solve exercises require students to first describe how they will set up and approach a problem. This reinforces conceptual understanding of the process applied in approaching the problem, promotes long term retention of the skill, and mirrors what students will be expected to do on a test. NEW! ▲ Instructional Videos—Every instructional video is new, created exclusively for this product by experienced instructors.All videos were thoroughly vetted by the authors. See page xxi for more details. NEW! Video Note-Taking Guide—Helps students be active learners while watching videos. Written specifically for the new Sullivan video program by Kevin Bodden and Randy Gallaher at Lewis and Clark Community College. Chapter Test Prep videos correspond to each exercise in the Chapter Test in the textbook, enabling students to effectively prepare for high-stakes testing. These are available in MyMathLab for School.
