Professor Michael Kopenits, biology department chair at Amarillo College, decided to test out the effectiveness of Connect® Anatomy and Physiology, so he offered students an additional 5% on their final grades for completing the assignments in Connect. Read this CASE STUDY to learn how the students who used Connect performed significantly better in the course than those who did not.

Not only did Connect increase student grade point averages by 12.5%, but students are also now more willing to do work outside of the classroom. “Those who have not purchased Connect are encouraged to do so by their fellow students due to improvement in grades,” Professor Kopenits says.

In addition, simply labeling line drawings and answering multiple-choice questions have been taken to a new level with the enhanced interactivity within McGraw-Hill LearnSmart, the adaptive learning platform within Connect. “Students rave about it.”
