My Math Lab (MML)/Webct Instructions
for Students
for MATH 97,99,1111,1112 courses
(revised fall 09)
Each student will need to use the long
letter code that was packaged with the new math textbook to correctly register
to use My Math Lab to do homework in his math course. Note:
The code is only valid one time, the first time it is typed in, so
students PLEASE do not enter your code until you are sure that you are not
changing your schedule to a different math course. Once you are sure that you are staying in a
particular math course, you should perform the steps below to register yourself
into your MML/WEBCT course so that you can do your math homework. If for some
reason you buy a used math textbook, you will need to buy the long letter code
separately from the ABAC bookstore. This
might end up costing you more than if you had purchased a new math textbook,
since the long letter code comes packaged free with a new math textbook. You
will need a new code to register with MML/WEBCT in order to do your math
homework.
