MyEconLab Assignments

• These are ungraded practice questions.

  • You will be given 3 tries, then the system will tell you the correct answer.

  • When you finish, the system will tell you which sections of the chapter you need to focus your study time on.

• Each question will have a panel of Learning Aids to the left of the window. These Learning Aids include:

  • Help Me Solve This - Guided Solutions take you step-by-step to the correct answer.

  • eText - takes you to the page of the text where the information covered by the question is presented even if you did not purchase access to the eBook.

  • Graphing - enables you to draw a graph of the question to help find an answer.

  • Ask My Instructor - allows you to email the question to me, so I can help you with it.

• These are graded question sets, set up like the Study Plan sets. Each chapter will have 20 homework questions that are worth 1 point each for a total of 20 points.

• Since there are 16 Chapter Homework Assignments worth 20 points each, all the Homework Assignments add up to a total of 320 points, or 8% of the course grade.

• Learning Aids are available on Homework assignments, and students will be able to take these assignments over and over again until they get them right, though these re-takes are limited by the assignment deadline.

• These are graded assignment sets worth twice as much as the Homework sets. Each chapter will have 20 quiz questions that are worth 40 points.

• Since there are 16 Chapter Quizzes worth 40 points each, all the Chapter Quizzes add up to a total of 640 points, or 16% of the course grade.

• No Learning Aids are available on quizzes while you are working on them, but you will be able to review the graded questions after the deadline with the help of the Learning Aids.

Important Notes:

• You will be allowed three attempts on the quizzes just as you are on the online, mid-term exams.

• However, unlike the online, mid-term exams, the highest grade will be used and you will not be able to re-test these quizzes after their assignment deadlines.

• You will have 90 minutes to complete a quiz.

The Results page will give you your scores on each assignment, as well as your overall average.

• You must go to the Results page to review your answers to the Homework Assignments and Quizzes.

• You can only review the Chapter Quizzes after the deadline for the Quiz has passed.
