Access a huge bank of regularly updated case studies with associated auto-graded questions to assess students' understanding, saving hours of work on researching and writing your own.

Case studies demonstrate the practical application of theory, allowing students to see the relevance of the topics they are learning. Using local and global companies that students will recognise, they increase engagement and motivation by connecting theory to real-world practice, developing the knowledge and skills they need for their future.

Assignment reports give you granular information about your students' interaction with assignments set through Connect, including how much time students have spent engaging and which concepts your class may be struggling with. All of this data is available at an aggregated or individual level so you can gain deeper insight into students who seem to be struggling and take remedial action. Crucially students also have access to their own data to help them manage their own learning and create informed study plans.

Prep Courses in Connect cover the basic concepts in Math, Statistics, Accounting, Excel, and Economics and are comprised of animated tutorial modules with quiz questions. NEW to the list is CALCULATOR. Instructors can assign as homework or include for optional practice. Prep Courses provide a level playing field, give instructors more time in class to cover personal finance topics, and ensure that students are not left behind.

A series of basic and complex graphing questions are available to aid students in their practice and development. These questions enable students to develop their graphical ability and calculate and plot data skills. Each question is auto-graded, available throughout the assignable content, and accompanied by immediate feedback to help guide students through the task.

These narrated, animated, step-by-step walkthroughs of algorithmic versions of assigned exercises provide immediate feedback and focus on the areas where students need the most guidance.

The power of Microsoft Excel meets the power of McGraw Hill Connect in our all-new integration of Excel in Connect. With Integrated Excel, Excel now opens seamlessly inside Connect with no need for uploading or downloading any additional files or software. Instructors choose their auto-grading solution, either grading for formula accuracy or for the solution value.

Interactive Data Problems allow students to visualize and interact with data in different ways. Students use the interactive tools to manipulate data and answer accompanying problems that test multiple levels of understanding.

McGraw Hill has partnered with Kaplan Schweser to provide hundreds of additional sample CFA questions for the CFA exams.

The assignable, auto-gradable Personal Financial Plans in Connect correlate with sections of the text and help students apply concepts learned. Case/fictional data is used to protect the privacy of the students and to provide data since many students do not have enough financial history to complete the plans. The plans are also algorithmic, which means each student is assigned the same plan with a different set of numbers to reduce cheating and provide extra practice.

Tableau Dashboard Activities allow students to explore live Tableau dashboards directly integrated into Connect and include auto-graded questions focused on both calculations and analysis. Students can check their understanding and apply what they are learning within the framework of analytics and critical thinking.
