USE THIS APPLICATION IF YOU HATE YOUR STUDENTS **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bryson A. | Student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2026 **What do you like best about MyLab?** There is absolutely nothing helpful about MyLab. When you get it wrong, it doesn't tell you what exactly you got wrong, so you have to go through everything or just spam the wrong answer until you get it wrong and it tells you. There is a "help me solve this" button, but it is LITERALLY ZERO help at all. It just reads the question back to you and gives no guidance, then makes you redo a similar question. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** I hate using this application so much that I made an account on this website just so I could maybe prevent one teacher from using it. I have used many applications to do math homework in the past, DeltaMath, Aleks, College Board, etc., and can confidently say this is the absolute worst service out of the bunch by miles. If you want your students to be successful, do not use MyLab. The graphs it uses straight up do not make sense and contradict what the answers are. It will only end up confusing your students, especially since the explanation isn't any help at all. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** The only way MyLab has benefitted me, is helping me learn how to control my emotions. ### 2. TERRIBLE APPLICATION STAY AWAY **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2025 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Absolutely nothing. This is the worst application you will ever be forced to use. If you have the choice stay so far away. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** There is nothing positive about this application. These people will take hundreds of dollars from you multiple times a semester randomly cut off your access to assignments the day they are due and literally hold you and your grade hostage for more money. Dont think about reaching out to customer service as all they will do is leave you on hold for any amount of time up to an hour and then just decide to hang up on you. If you ever do get to talk to someone they will just tell you they lost your receipt and force you to pay more money again or just be unable to complete your assignments. I know many are forced to use it from university but if you ever ever have the choice stay away from these greedy scum bags that will do nothing more than steal from you and leave you screwed. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** They solve zero problems and have zero benefits ### 3. Horrible. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul L. | Student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2024 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Very little. I can appreciate the encouragement after successfully answering a question, and it does provide practice problems. Despite the system marking it as such, this segment is not about ease of use. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Where to start? I'm currently enrolled in a math course, and using MyLab Math. After being forced to pay $90 for a six-month subscription (I would have appreciated a cheaper, shorter subscription that meets the needs of a college student enrolled in a standard 15-week semester, but the only alternative was a three-month subscription that could not have covered the full semester. I would have simply not purchased the product if it weren't required), I received simple bugs, gateway errors, and the worst question design imaginable. Every question felt unnecessary in some way. Some were unnecessarily easy, in that they only reviewed the most basic parts of each problem. but this is understandable - fundamentals must be taught before anything more. While this was irritating. However, the remainder of the questions were unnecessarily difficult. Not conceptually, but structually - decimals where there were no need for decimals, changes in the structure of the problems to add additional, unnecessary obstacles to completing them. These obstacles didn't help me understand the material, or steps, any further, just resulted in more time taken out of my day to work through them. To illustrate this, I can use an example. Say the chapter involves graphing linear equations. To help develop an understanding of this, an educator might present a problem such as y = 2x + 3 and then require the student to graph it. This problem uses simple numbers, and introduces a fundamental understanding of the concept. After this, (slightly) more advanced concepts. such as fractions, negative integers, and similar might be approached and covered. MyLab Math would write a problem like this as 8x - 3y = 22. Obviously, it can still be completed - isolate y, divide by 3, y = (3/8)x - 22/3 but those two extra steps were unnecessary. This is a good challenge problem for a student still learning basic linear equations, but using only problems like this has no positive effect, and increases the time required to complete assignments. Now imagine this pattern of unnecessary steps in the context of more complex math, and you should be able to see how irritating it is. Earlier this semester, I spent an hour and a half on one problem, only for the program to crash. There were seven problems like that one in that assignment, and I simply gave up. Instead of using the service I'm paying $90 for six months of, I looked up practice problems, because they taught me the concept without any extra complications. Those were free, by the way. Could I complete the unnecessary extra steps? Certainly! They were already covered in previous courses. Could I work with absurd fractions and generally annoying numbers? Of course! But how does it benefit me to slog through these problems if all I'm trying to do is learn the concepts behind them? In fact, I'd argue this only incentivizes students to cheat -- why bother working through an hour and a half of poorly designed problems when you could instead use cheating services like Photomath for those, and learn from practice problems elsewhere? Photomath would likely do a better job teaching the concepts anyway. These issues are further exacerbated by MyLab's grading style. You are given a certain amount of attempts to correctly answer each question (unless specified otherwise by the course's instructor). Each unnecessary step and each convoluted number added to the problem increases one's chances of making a simple mistake. While one might understand the concept well - and the goal of MyLab should be to teach concepts, not inhuman perfection - one also might forget to write down a negative sign, or incorrectly copy a decimal. These mistakes happen at any level of math, but the more convoluted the problem, the more opportunity for human error. MyLab increases the risk of human error while simultaneously punishing it, and that cannot be the basis for any product priced at $90 for a temporary subscription. My experience has been terrible. If you're looking to use MyLab Math for education, reconsider. If you're some poor student condemned to using it, use the free two-week trial, cheat for the sake of grades, and learn the concepts yourself - free practice problems are more effective than those Pearson charges $90 for. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** None. ### 4. MyLab to bridge the Digital Divide **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2024 **What do you like best about MyLab?** My Lab works well with cohorts of students <1000. It provides great training and internationally based-assessments. MyLab also has many different assessments for similar objectives that students can use to practice their skills. The platform can be simple to use once you are used to it, to set it up is also easy. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The grade book does not always sync easily with the LMS, and you have to contact support. Very large cohorts fall into different grade books and can be difficult to manage. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bridging the digital literacy divide. ### 5. Successfully One Ups Horrible Math Teachers by Being EVEN WORSE **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bradley S. | Foreman, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2022 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Nothing. I will, however, use this section to emphasize that I have completed nearly three chapters with an A. I would also point out that I have worked with math in the professional field as a CNC machinist for almost 13 years. I would also point out that I scored high enough to go into the class above what I am taking now; however, I decided to start at the intermediate level. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** You are given videos that do not explain even 10% of the type of problems you will be expected to answer on assignments. For this, there is a study section with exceptionally POOR directions. Colleges should NOT be using this. They would be better off giving links to a Khan Academy video and providing assignments with REASONABLE problems. I fail to see how this subpar garbage is considered to be adequate for students coming straight out of high school (unless the goal is for them to have a failing grade). Pearson should be ashamed of itself for putting this junk out. Detailed explanations for EVERY STEP should be included in "help me solve this" and "view an example." I don't care if Pearson believes that a student should know certain steps or not; NO ONE is paying over $100 in addition to their tuition for incomplete information. Period. Shame on you Pearson. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** This junk doesn't solve problems; it creates them. It creates an enormous loss of time researching questions that SHOULD BE ANSWERED. Abstract explanations don't cut it. ### 6. I hate Pearson and mylab on a fundamental level **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2023 **What do you like best about MyLab?** I like how the videos meant to help you look like they were made in the 80s and are entirely unhelpful and inconsistent, and the fact that this program is really just designed to decrease teacher workload by using a program to grade assignments, which is often done poorly. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** I had to pay for pearson in addition to paying for the class that used it, which seems ridiculous. Besides that fact the way this program forces you to enter answers is frustrating, marking you wrong for being too specific with an answer and not goving partial credit even for problems that involve multiple answers. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** It does have good example problems, which is the one positive I can say for it. ### 7. Garbage programing, Trick Questions Waste of money. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Newman H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2023 **What do you like best about MyLab?** It doesn't use paper maybe?! Really nothing. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The fact the help is frequently unrelated to the question being asked. some problems require entierly diffrent formulas, or are unable to be solved using their methods. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nothing, my instructors are the main reason I understand the curriculum. Pearsons math lab is the most confusing and backward program I've ever used, it is bringing the collective understanding of humanity down wasting MILLIONS of highly productive man-hours with problems that degrade my understanding of math more than they enhance it. ### 8. Love it **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tyler L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2023 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Great resources to retry homework questions and be taught where you went wrong and how to improve. You can also ask your instructor for help on certain problems. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Can't particularly complain, the user interface is pretty solid. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm just a student, but I really like MyLab when my professors use it. ### 9. MyLab Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim S. | Senior Instructor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2022 **What do you like best about MyLab?** The simulations are very good. Students learn a lot from them as they incorporate real-world situations. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Sometimes the test bank questions lack depth. For instance, ratio questions may appear but it is only the answer but not an interpretation of the ratio. Students need to get deeper into the concepts in my opinion. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** It saves the time of having to write a lot of questions as the test banks are usually pretty populated. Based on advisory board recommendations, we should have a simulation and they do a good providing them. ### 10. It was a great choice to facilitate the teaching-learning relationship. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2022 **What do you like best about MyLab?** The best in that students and teachers can use any divise to work on the platform. Also, practices integrates a dynamic and real way to expose learners to English. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** It's too much time consuming when a student mistaken their code and then administrators request troubleshooting to technical support. Students would like solutions in shorter and faster period of time. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** My lab makes more appealing and expedite grading. This saves time and makes processes run smoother in general. In addition, student are able to see in a timely fashion their feedback. ### 11. Terrible customer service **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2022 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Nothing. It's a useless system that has no value to education. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** My college used the same book for two different courses that I took back to back. Pearsons used the same access code for the book, even though it was different courses. My access expired 3 days before the course ended. I contacted Pearsons tech support who did nothing more than repeat the same information that I could see on the computer and inform me that there was nothing they could do. Crap company and I hope it goes bankrupt. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** No benefit ### 12. Terrible experience **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2022 **What do you like best about MyLab?** There is nothing good about this program. A quick google search will show how this application is universally hated by teachers and students alike. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Terrible user interface, extremely slow and laggy. Really, the worst part is the company and the overall culture surrounding it. As students, it is so normalized to have to purchase an access code for 100+ dollars just to do homework. Many classes don't require the books, but we still have to pay for it. There needs to be a massive change in the monopoly companies like Pearson have over education. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Again, i don't really have anything else to say about this product except that it is terrible for teaching, for learning, and as a concept in general. ### 13. Don't use, useless for learning **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2020 **What do you like best about MyLab?** There is nothing useful at all about mylab if you wish to learn a subject. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Everything else. The formatting of questions is atrocious. The way answers are generated allows for random guessing and hinders learning as people easily learn to game the system. Do not consider using this if you want to keep yourself mental sane as the problems are not even hard but if you <.1% off then it will mark it wrong leaving you to misunderstand why you got it wrong. Not due to any misconception of yourself but because of this stupid system where if anything is off it is wrong. But guessing the multiple choice is fine so their system isn't to keep you from guessing, it is just to aggravate you. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Math, none. ### 14. Useless Memorization App **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2021 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Nothing, MySpanishlab is short of horrible. It relies of useless memorization, doesn't give you good feed back on retry assignments and leaves students with an overwhelming feeling of frustration. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Well as stated in the comments above, on your failed attempts at the activities it doesn't give you good feedback, but also at many times doesn't match up with the readings very well, and instead of teaching for deeper understanding of the material; it relies on unhelpful memorization tactics that leave the students stressed out on tests. The activities are extremely repetitive and frustrating and if make the tiniest mistakes it will grade you down. -10/10 I wouldn't recommend this garbage learning program to anyone. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Delete this program and completely recreate this program. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** None; this program is causing problems. There are literally no benefits I can think of to using this program. It doesn't work on mobile devices, it doesn't help with actually learning the material, and it's an all around horrible study tool. ### 15. The worst ebook service that scams people and acts like they care **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jackson L. | Student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2021 **What do you like best about MyLab?** The ability to practice problems and even that sucked **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Practically everything, the problems take forever and they are not clear and a lot of their own answers are wrong and punish you for being incompetent **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finance problems and haven't really seen any benefits ### 16. MyLab could be better but Great if used right **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2022 **What do you like best about MyLab?** It is great to have assignments all on one place and have instant grading with feedback. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** It is extremely picky on the input of answers. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great tool for online classes and love that you can get tutorials and help on demand. ### 17. HORRIBLE DON'T EVEN GET THIS, PROFESSORS NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM MYMATHLAB!!! **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristin M. | na **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2021 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Probably nothing its horrible and never loads making me miss assignments. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The fact your guys stuff never loads and your support team doesn't help. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Probably none, the entire thing is confusing, never loads questions say it's wrong when it's not. ### 18. By far the worst part of my freshmen year of college. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2020 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Crying myself to sleep after failing my class. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Absolutely everything. It is extremely difficult to navigate. You have to have the exact answer in the format they want or you get the whole question wrong. Don't even get me started on when you needed to graph things.. IT WAS HORRIBLE. There were times where I knew I was right by the way I was taught, but according to this website I was wrong. It was by far the worst part of my first semester of college. I didn't have the best teacher either so that didn't make it any better. I spent more hours crying over this website than I did actually learning. This website triggered my depression. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Don't. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Absolutely zero benefits. ### 19. Poor experience, frustrating as a student. DO NOT USE FOR MATH COURSES **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bjorn K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2020 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Nothing. Honestly the whole experience was disappointing and I would be ashamed if I worked on this horrible program **What do you dislike about MyLab?** basically everything, homework and course never matched. answering system is 1 dimensional, it cannot account for different CORRECT answers. If you don't input their EXACT answer you get it wrong. Extremely frustrating to use as a student. The videos rarely help if not at all. The GUI is TERRIBLE. And the Skill LAB is useless, better off google searching how to do the problems than using the Help Me Solve This or Skill Lab **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** DO NOT USE **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** No Impact besides wasting my time and making me frustrated. AGAIN DO NOT USE ### 20. Great software with a few downfalls **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2020 **What do you like best about MyLab?** What I liked best is that once I was able to login it was really easy to use. It was integrated well with my class, and it was clear what I needed to do and how to complete the tasks. It was a very useful tool used in my class as an online alternative to completing work. It’s very easy to use and simple to understand. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** I had a lot of trouble logging in, I couldn’t get a clear answer on how to fix it, or what I needed to do. It was very frustrating, I had to try many different things to get into my account at certain times. It made it hard to do what I needed to do and it caused an inconvenience. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** It was very easy to have all of my assignments in one place, and it eliminated the need to have a physical textbook and turn in physical papers for homework. It made it easier for the students and the professor. I was able to be more organized because of it. ### 21. Ok. Not great **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2020 **What do you like best about MyLab?** When I get to weep in the shower after finally completing a lesson. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Not amazing. Could teach the subject better. Gives one lesson and expects you to figure the rest out yourself. All in all, could be better **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Do not do it. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Needs more and better lesson planning. Go over every subject as needed, and not a once over. Is a great idea in theory. ### 22. 5 years no technological progress of MyLab Assignment manager **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2020 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Nothing particular so far. Just an existing product for online course. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The Assignment Manager is a time consuming, poorly designed "low tech" product **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Please contact Pearson for updating their technology before you ever consider adopting the MyLab product. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Online Assignment. ### 23. How to Funnel a Generation into Factories and Away from STEM **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chelsea C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2020 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Chances on Questions Wide Variety of Questions **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Changes questions when you log in and out Focuses on arithmetic not actual math theory Depends on complicated decimals for difficulty, not math teachers cant change things expensive and useless Makes a lifelong math lover hate the subject would make any student walk away from math-related subjects too complicated for simple stuff, too simple for complicated stuff **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Dont waste your money or your students time **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** I benefit from yelling when I'm mad ### 24. Absolutely Abismal **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2019 **What do you like best about MyLab?** I don't like a single thing about this program **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Mylab is the most useless homework tool and the most unbelievably frustrating and time consuming program a student will ever have to use. The hints are useless, hints SHOULD NOT count against your score because most professors don't teach you how to solve the problems in class and you literally have to rely upon the poorly written and dense descriptions the "Help me solve this" tab provides. Feedback on why you got an answer wrong is literally useless, often along the lines of "check your use of technology", i.e., Microsoft Excel. The program also decides at random where in a calculation you should be rounding, so by the time you enter in your answer, it winds up being 0.1-0.10 decimals off from the "correct" answer. I have spent entire days trying to attempt to complete 3 statistics questions and found myself unbelievably frustrated and in tears with a failing grade by the end of it, and it is not my fault. Fix your broken program and stop torturing students who are forced to pay to use it. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Just don't use it **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nothing useful ### 25. Absolutely Awful **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2019 **What do you like best about MyLab?** It is "somewhat" helpful when trying to learn and review the concepts **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The hints are very, very rarely helpful with the problem at hand. You get punished for not getting the answer correct the first time by lowering your score, sometimes even giving a zero for that question. If you get a question incorrect, most of the time it simply tell you its wrong. Very rarely say which part is wrong if there are multiple parts, all while lowering your score cause you don't know how to do everything perfectly **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Don't use it if you don't have too. It is the absolute worst program I have ever had to use for homework **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am solving problems for circuit theory. The only slight benefit is some, very annoying and aggravating, practice. Other than that, no benefit at all than just some more hair loss ### 26. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2019 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Nothing. This company has left my students hi and dry. My students have been locked out of the system for 4 days and we are getting no response from Pearson. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The platform has been down for 4 days, my students are unable to access the course materials and nothing has been done. Nobody from Pearson is getting back to us, and our local rep tells us that the support team is not responding to his emails either. My lab has created major problems for the delivery of this course. An online project the students have been working on for 5 weeks and is worth 25% of the overall mark is inaccessible to them because that part of Pearson is down. Nobody is returning our calls or emails. This is an absolute disaster and we haven't heard a word from Pearson. Now, in the last week of this course we are having to scramble and have our students deliver what should have been a 6 week research project in 2 days. From scratch, since all the research they have already done resides within the online platform. We are now advising our students to put together a report that does not even come close to representing the learning outcomes of this course. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Find another provider. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** My lab has created major problems for the delivery of this course. An online project the students have been working on for 5 weeks and is worth 25% of the overall mark is inaccessible to them because that part of Pearson is down. Nobody is returning our calls or emails. This is an absolute disaster and nobody from Pearson is taking it seriously. ### 27. Homework from Hell **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019 **What do you like best about MyLab?** The only positive I felt in Mylab was the ability.to.do the work online rather than on paper. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** You could and often did have the correct answer but it would not read it as the right answer. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Don't. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** I would often take pictures of the work to send to the instructor to show that while we had input the correct answer it was not being counted as such. It was far from efficient. ### 28.

Great for Students **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** dashuri p. | Technical Support Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Flexible options for creating assignments and easy to share with other instructors. Also they have recently reduced the price for students. This is a very big positive! **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The automatic grading features are difficult to adapt and to adjust. If assignments are past due the zero is not factored in to the running average for the students even though the option to count unattempted and past due assignments has been checked. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Great for sharing among many professors **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Increased student achievement, instant verification for students of their accuracy. Additional online tutoring availability. ### 31. A powerful tool useful in teaching applications **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** The customizable nature of MyLab is great for my courses. Allowing me to stress course content in areas that I know my students struggle with, while also cutting out nonessential items. The ability to track student progress in real time is also an advantage, allowing for early intervention to help a student before it is too late. Students also find the platform to be very intuitive. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The set-up for an instructor to customize the content takes a bit longer than I would like. And load times are sometimes also problematic. The largest disadvantage of the program is the cost, it is simply outrageous. We have discontinued the use of this product for this reason alone. I don't always like the wording of the questions, or the specificity in wording required by some of the answers. This becomes frustrating for both the instructor and the student. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Be very mindful of the costs for your students. With the current information indicating that students delay purchase, or simply never buy, required textbooks, this program is quite pricey. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** It works well to integrate in my college's LMS, allowing instant grade book updates, etc. The real time feedback allows me to intervene with a student if necessary. It also allows me to see specific content areas that may not have been conveyed well to students. ### 32. A great Product **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** I like that this product is simple, but contains alot of options for the user. It is very easy to use and hardly freezes or causes delays **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The only thing I dislike is that it is sometimes hard to navigate through the screens. Tabs and buttons are not descriptive and do not seem like they relate to the link. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving the issue of having courses in a centralized area. It allows easy access which is great for our line of work where we need quick access. ### 33. Everything worked well, it's just a little slow **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** minh p. | Graduate Assistant, Research, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** As an administrator/instructor, MyLab is easy to use. It is easy to track the student process and view their scores. The wide variety of available content makes it good for every course. It is also easy to catch a student cheating thanks to the time tracker. It is also easy to use from the students side. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** It is just a little slow. We need to wait a little bit to load a course and to update assignments. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** This is probably the best Education management software out there. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** This significantly reduces the workload for instructors. In brief, instructors create assignments online within MyLab and electronically transmit them to their class. Students enter their answers online, and Mylab automatically grades the assignment and gives students instant feedback on their performance. ### 34. Interactive but dull learning integration **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Albin A. | Associate Financial Advisor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** The thing I like the most with MyLab is it's layout and appearance. It's easy to navigate and find whatever you're looking for. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** The learning modules are slow and annoying to navigate. The pop-up windows that appear isn't appealing to the user whatsoever. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problems that you are solving with MyLab is an efficient way to learn new material. Even though the platform could be improved in terms of visualization and smoothness, the learning platform is well-constructed. ### 35. Great user experience of affective learning combined with an easy to use interface **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michal . | Project Manager, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 14, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** I really like the different help buttons one can use when stuck on a problem. The software does not give you the correct answer, rather it shows you the correct path toward solving the problem. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Sometimes the guidelines, especially the problems requiring equations, are too vague for me to use. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Out of the many platforms available for college students nowadays, I would not hesitate to try MyLab. It is a great software, sufficiently serving the students as well as the professors. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it as the main homework and test platform for my Business Statistics class. This software has many benefits including instant feedback on my work, easy grading format, and well organized calendar, showing due dates of assignments ### 36. Learning our way **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erica T. | Human Resources Specialist, Hospital & Health Care, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** My lab helped us to increase our learning potential. Particularly liked the tutorial options. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Overall I liked everything mylab had to offer. If I had to dislike something it would be technical support. Wait times were most of the time slow **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mylab helps to increase our learning opportunities. More are able to sign up compared our last company ### 37.

Pearson my lab is great for math students **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2019 **What do you like best about MyLab?** I like the options for students and easily being able to see their grades. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** There is nothing that I dislike about this. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** I realized students are able to use this software easier and are more willing to do homework. ### 39. Pearson's system, though one of the more sophisticated school software programs, poorly performs. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric S. | Finance and Operations Intern, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** The idea's that Pearson tries to implements, such as having tests and quizzes online, are a great idea. I have many times enjoyed the ease of completing homework assingments from home on my computer rather than using pen and paper. The documents and books that are available online along with the homework checker are nothing short of great software. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Pearson is extremely buggy and lacks the resources to keep the website up and running. There are many times where I have tried to log on and been unable to access the proper documentation I need to complete assignments. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Be prepared to face bugs that may hinder your experience with MyLab. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have not personally solved any business problems with MyLab, however I have done homework and this in turn was a huge benefit rather than turning it in, in a paper format. ### 40. Useful tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** Useful tool to use for classes. Many of my professors have made students sign up for this website to do all of our assignments and it worked out well **What do you dislike about MyLab?** Nothing in particular that i didn’t like about the website **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** it provides a layout of assignments provided by teachers for students to use and become educated. I realized it is a very straight forward website, easy to use once you get the hang of it. ### 41. Great, if used Fully **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thomas C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018 **What do you like best about MyLab?** I love that it integrates well with other platforms, such as BlackBoard Learn. I also love that it has so many reinforcement modules, and that it provides immediate feedback and unlimited practice for students. This is vital in a math course, as only through regular practice can students learn, master, and retain this information. **What do you dislike about MyLab?** I think the price per student is outrageous if only used for one course over one semester. I also think that if professors would use more of the tools available to them it could be better for the students in their courses. **Recommendations to others considering MyLab:** Make sure to take advantage of all the features, including controlling the number of attempts available, and the integrating with LMS softwares. Also, make sure students are aware that the one-time price can be used for multiple courses over a set period of time. **What problems is MyLab solving and how is that benefiting you?** MyLab reduces grading time and gives students immediate feedback. It also allows them unlimited attempts, without extra effort from the instructor. MyLab integrates well with BlackBoard so students' grades from math courses can be seen in the same place as other courses. I appreciate that students' engagement is also measured. This allows both students and professors to have insight into how much time students are spending in the course, compared to other students and to standardized benchmarks for success. This gives motivated students a sense of satisfaction and a series of goals to achieve, and provides support for those who need extra motivation. ### 42.
