Product Features


MyBcommLab contains activities for every facet of the course to keep students working towards key learning objectives: Writing, Grammar and Presentation skills.

Bring student progress into sharper focus with Customized Study Plans

Customized Study Plans keep students on track throughout the semester.

Students complete a pre-test, and the results generate a customized study plan, complete with remediation activities. Study plans tag incorrect questions from the pre-test to the appropriate textbook learning objective, enabling students to concentrate on only the topics that they need help with the most. Study tools include flash cards, eText reading assignments, document makeovers, and grammar and writing tutorials.

After students complete the remediation activities, they may take a post-test to validate mastery of the learning objectives.

NEW! Provide your students with additional grammar practice with the Grammar Diagnostic and Study Plan. Following the same framework as the chapter study plans, the NEW Grammar Diagnostic assesses student knowledge of basic grammar concepts.  For students that need a refresher course, the customized grammar study plan is just what they need! Remediation activities include audio lessons, eText reading assignments, document makeovers, and practice quizzes.

MyBcommLab reports the Study Plan results to the instructor. Based on these reports, the instructor can adapt course material to suit the needs of individual students or the class as a whole.
