How To Use CourseCompass and MyMathLab

For a printout of directions click here.

MyMathLab is a program similar to MyBGSU that Pearson Addison-Wesley (the textbook company) has set up for you.  It has video lessons, homework assignments, quizzes, tests, etc.  It has an interactive program that will help you (in several ways) do a problem step-by-step.  It is a program that we use to complete the majority of our homework.

What you need to access CourseCompass:

1.    Valid Email Address: This could be your BGSU email address or any other valid email address.  Pearson Addison-Wesley will not sell or give your email address to anyone so you do not have to worry about spam.

2.    Course ID:  Each class has its own course ID.   Please find your course ID on your syllabus.

3.    Student Access Kit (Access Code): You will need a "student access kit" which comes with any new textbook purchased at BGSU's bookstore.  We have asked Pearson Addison-Wesley to bundle it with the new book which they have done free of charge.  It is also available as a standalone item, which can be purchased for $75.00 as of (8/10), by going to:   http://mymathlab.com

How to Register:

Once you have the three items above, you can register by going to http://www.coursecompass.com then click on "Register" and follow the directions.  It is fairly simple and straightforward.  However, if you have any problems registering you can "take a tour" by going to: http://info.coursecompass.com/website/stu_tour2005/index.html.  This website contains three different tours:

1.     How to register and enroll using an access code,     (http://tours.pearsoncmg.com/tours/cc_register_single.html)

2.    How to register and enroll by purchasing access online, and    (http://tours.pearsoncmg.com/tours/cc_stu_reg_wo_code_single.html)

3.    How to enroll in another class. (http://tours.pearsoncmg.com/tours/cc_enroll_in_another_single.html)

If you are still having problems call Technical Support at 1-800-677-6337.

In order to use all the features of MyMathLab you need three programs (Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Adobe QuickTime Player).  All the computers on campus and most newer computers have these programs already installed.  However, if your personal computer does not have these programs you can quickly install them by logging onto your MyMathLab class and clicking on "MyMathLab Installation Wizard" which is in the first announcement.

Lastly, I highly recommend you take 10-15 minutes to run through the tutorial called "How to Enter Answers Using the MathXL Player".  There is a link to it in the second announcement.
