What Makes MyWritingLab More
Effective?
Diagnostic Testing: MyWritingLab’s diagnostic Path Builder test
comprehensively assesses students’ skills in grammar. Students are
provided with an individualized learning path based on the diagnostic’s
results, identifying the areas where they most need help.
Progressive Learning: The heart of MyWritingLab is the progressive
learning that takes place as students complete the Overview,
Animation, Recall, Apply, and Write exercises along with the Post-test
within each topic. Students move from preparation (Overview,
Animation) to literal comprehension (Recall) to critical understanding
(Apply) to the ability to demonstrate a skill in their own writing (Write)
to total mastery (Post-test). This progression of critical thinking
enables students to truly master the skills and concepts they need to
become successful writers.
Online Gradebook: All student work in MyWritingLab is captured in
the Online Gradebook. Instructors can see what and how many topics
their students have mastered. They can also view students’ individual
scores on all assignments throughout MyWritingLab, as well as
overviews by student, and class performance by module. Students
can monitor their progress in new Completed Work pages, which
show them their totals, scores, time on task, and the date and time of
their work by module.
