Do assignments in the MyLab player

Updated 19 Jan 2024

To do assignments online, you'll answer most questions in the MyLab player. The player automatically checks answers and reports the results to you and to your instructor.

Some assignments might have their own app that you use outside of the MyLab player.

To do homework assignments:

    If you previously worked on the homework, the Do Homework page shows your progress so far.

  2. Select a question or select Start to open the player and begin working.

  3. Answer a question and select Check answer.

    Some questions have multiple parts, each of which you must complete and select Check answer.

  4. If your answer is wrong, you can try again.

    If you run out of tries or want more practice, select Similar question. Otherwise, select Next question.

  5. If you answer correctly, select Next question or navigate to questions by:

    • To view your completed the homework, select Review. If allowed, you see your score and your results icon on each question.
    • To return to and finish an uncompleted homework, select a question or Resume to continue.

      You can return and continue working up to the due date or until you run out of attempts. On the Do Homework page under Attempts, you see how many times you can try the assignment. The Resume option does not display if you are out of attempts.
