This gives them more time to prepare classroom lessons. * Instructors can choose exercises and set due dates with just a few clicks. Homework for an entire semester can be set up in less than an hour. Improves Results * Students have more opportunities to practice English in more ways — from video exercises and audio discussion boards to vocabulary games and academic practice. These new exercises help students learn more English, more quickly. *Immediate feedback on their performance allows students to come to class better prepared. * If students do not pass a section of a unit test, they automatically receive new exercises targeting areas that need improvement. The MyNorthStarLab Access Code card is also available on its own, without the Student Book.
