"Great software with a few downfalls"
3.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 do you like best about MyLab?

When I get to weep in the shower after finally completing a lesson. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely Abismal"
0/5
What do you like best about MyLab?

I don't like a single thing about this program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely Awful "
0/5
What do you like best about MyLab?

It is "somewhat" helpful when trying to learn and review the concepts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE"
0/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
