Office simulation assignments
Updated 20 Sep 2024
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.
- On your Course Home, open the assignment. The assignment preview window opens.
- Select Launch. The simulation environment opens.
- Read the question at the bottom of the screen and perform the task.
- 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.
- Select Submit to submit your completed assignment.
