Pearson authors have developed the following features within MyLab Math to help students build study skills.
Note-Taking Guides
A variety of authors have developed note-taking guides that correlate to their respective College Algebra, Algebra & Trigonometry, Trigonometry, and Precalculus texts. Each note-taking guide has a slightly different “flavor” depending on the author’s philosophy. Overall, the note-taking guides are meant to help focus the student on important concepts in texts and/or videos, while giving them a place to take structured, organized notes.
There are several best practices associated with implementing note-taking guides. For example, author Kirk Trigsted believes that implementing his Guided Notebook in his College Algebra course at the University of Idaho is the #1 predictor of student success. 90% of his students who received a 100% on open notebook quizzes received an A, B, or C in his course.
