The Go to Student View/Go to Instructor View link (at the top of the MyLab window) toggles between your working view of the course and what your students see. For example, your view of the Gradebook or the Study Plan is different from a student's view.
Switching between the two views is particularly useful when you are modifying the Study Plan. Click the Go to Student View link to see the page as your students will see it, then click the Go to Instructor View link to return to your view of the page.
Tip: When you are in student view, clicking the Help link (at the top of the course window) displays the MyLab's student Help.
