Office simulation assignments

MyLab IT courses offer simulation assignments – activities you perform in a simulated environment, such as Microsoft® Word, Excel, Access, or PowerPoint.

Your instructor might assign simulations as homework, test, or quiz activities to evaluate your performance. It’s best practice to do office simulations on a computer or tablet.

  1. On your Course Home, open the assignment. The assignment preview window opens.

  2. Select Launch. The simulation environment opens.
  3. Read the question at the bottom of the screen and perform the task.

  4. Select Save to save your work and complete the assignment later.

    Important: You have unlimited attempts on homework assignments. If your second attempt score is lower than your first attempt score, a message shows with options to continue or discard. It's best practice to select Discard. If you continue, the lower score saves in the gradebook.

  5. Select Submit to submit your completed assignment.
