For students

• Personalised study plan: A study plan is generated from each student's results on sample tests and instructor assignments. Students can clearly see which topics they have mastered and, more importantly, which they need to work on.
• Tests and other assignments: MyEconLab comes with two pre-loaded sample tests for each chapter so your students can self-assess their understanding of the material.
• eText: access to guided solutions, animated graphs, audio narratives, flashcards, current news articles tied to chapter content and graphing tools.

For Educators

• Ready-to-use assignments: Use pre-loaded sample tests, or create your own assignments using a mix of MyEconLab problems, the book's Test Bank, and questions written using the Econ Exercise Builder.
• Automatic Grading: MyEconLab grades every homework and quiz question—even those with graphing. Students get unlimited graphing practice and immediate feedback with links to specific learning tools for each question.
• Blackboard Integration: Blackboard users can integrate their Blackboard course with MyEconLab. This integration allows for instructor and student single sign-on, inclusion of direct links to the MyEconLab course from within Blackboard content pages, and easy grade transfer.
