Better quality exercises and additional problems to assign in MyLab Accounting for practice and formative or summative assessment

For this 10th edition, over 45 previously static questions have been turned into algorithmic ones, which means that each student works on a numerical problem that is individual to him or her. This brings the total number of algorithmic questions in MyLab to over 400.
There are now over 1650 exercises in MyLab that can be selected and assigned for formative or summative work. Students can view their results and instructors can track student performance in the sophisticated Gradebook.
The feedback given in MyLab to students in response to their answers has been improved for over 275 questions in the most used chapters. This provides a greater quality of response at their point of need to help them learn from their incorrect answers and progress in their learning.
