Student Testimonials

Learn from students using MyLiteratureLab about how it has helped them save time and improve results.

In March 2011, Pearson reached out to students and gave them access to MyLiteratureLab to find out what they thought about the technology. Their response was overwhelmingly positive. Here’s what they had to say:

"The amount of resources on the site is really quite extraordinary.”

“What impressed me the most about MyLiteratureLab was everything is there! There is no reason for a student to search on the Internet for hours about grammar rules, writing help tips, research formatting, or finding sample essays to help guide your writing. Also, having a personal tutor to give you feedback on your writing is what every student wants. MyLiteratureLab is extremely personal!”

“I was impressed at the resources available for Othello, like the movie, book, and critical version. This is a great resource.”

“I was very impressed by the level of interactivity that is available among all of the resources on the site. It is very comprehensive. I can look up words, get advice on constructing an argument or a paper, and have an eText for reference. It’s great!”

“Everything impressed me about it...From the Literature classes I have taken, I honestly wish I had this technology from the beginning.”

“The Literature eAnthology impressed me the most. I also liked the calendar that showed all the important assignments due.”

“I liked that MyLiteratureLab goes into depth to explain different works by tons of different authors. I also found the Fiction writing section helpful...it is the perfect tool to get started on a good story.”

“I liked how simple MyLiteratureLab was to use. This is totally comprehensive.”

“I liked the layout — my school uses Blackboard, and I know most colleges use something similar, and the format of MyLiteratureLab was very similar and therefore easy to use.”

“The website impresses me with videos. Students, like me, often choose to view videos for a deeper understanding, rather than read a long chapter.”

“So many resources are offered and the fact that a built-in composition section is added is great too. eText with notes capability is one of my favorites, because I use the laptop a lot over paper notebooks. Having that feature makes it very easy for me and I could access the eText version of Othello, for example, whenever I wanted from MyLiteratureLab.”

“I was impressed by the breadth and depth of resources, the suggestions for composing, the Writer’s Toolkit, the multimedia resources, the in-depth analysis of authors and works of Literature, and the organizational structure for completing a class project, including the student self-regulated center, like the My Project, To Do, and Portfolio.”

“I liked that you could access all of your course needs on the one site.”

“...I love the eText and the composing tab. It was so easy to be able to have everything in one place while I’m writing and pull up whatever resources I need. I could also tell the creators really tried to think of reaching all learners with the videos, audio clips, and text portions of the Resources tab which I appreciated.”

“The overall design of the website is very easy to use. It has bolded tabs that are very easy to see and then there is a search box. That is always helpful when trying to find something specific!”

“The Writing Toolkit impressed me the most because it was easy to use and looks very helpful.”

“I especially liked the way the site broke down the different grammar sections.”

“Having everything at your fingertips. Not having to carry around a ton of books. Being able to highlight and take notes. Also having an online tutor for when you have questions.”
