Before students move on to application and analysis of business communication, they need to master the basics. The study plan tests their understanding of the basic concepts in the chapter, by learning outcome, and creates a customized study plan for students based on what topics they mastered and what they need more help on. For remediation, students have access to a variety of study aids like interactive lectures, flashcards, ebook content, and quick self-checks.

Our branching, decision-making simulations allow you to assess your students’ critical thinking skills. Students are placed in realistic business situations and asked to make a series of decisions, based on information they are given. The simulations are branching, so each decision the student makes determines the direction the scenario goes, allowing students to see the consequences of their decisions. These simulations are graded and students receive detailed feedback about each decision they made, and why it was a good or bad decision.

Our new Writing Space allows you to assess your student’s writing and analytical skills much more easily. Our Auto-Graded writing assignments utilize Pearson’s Intelligent Essay Assessor to grade prebuilt writing prompts not only for spelling and grammar but also for content. Pearson’s IEA goes beyond a basic key word or phrase search and understand the English language.

Our Assisted-Graded writing assignments cut down grading time by streamlining the grading process. The Writing Space allows students to submit assignments through MyBCommLab; it allows you easy grading with prebuilt rubrics; and allows you to make inline comments and correction that can be returned to the students all through MyBCommLab.

Along with a fully functional gradebook, our Performance Reporting tab gives you a visual snapshot of how your students are performing overall, by assignment, or by objective. It allows you to instantly see who you top and bottom performers are, and how each student is performing versus the class average.

MyBCommLab includes a complete eText that allows students to highlight, search, and take notes as they read online.
