“I have been using MyLab in my classrooms for five years in developmental math classes, college-level math classes, and math courses for future teachers. I love how customizable the content is, from creating your own assignments to weekly knowledge checks. Adjusting settings for individual students is simple, and reviewing missed questions is efficient. Students appreciate how user friendly the platform is and the supplemental videos and examples to help them if they need assistance. The integrated gradebook and calendar help them to take responsibility for their own learning and progress.”

We here at The Common Denominator are always looking towards the future. The world of math and statistics is wonderful and bright, and we are always excited to think about what the future will bring. That said, did you know that we have a YouTube channel? Yeah, neither did we. J/K.
As the Fall semester continues, and we make our way into the new year, we will be working to add more author interview content and upcoming math and stats related product announcements. If you have any ideas, feel free to hit reply and let us know.
