Getting Started
Overview
McGraw-Hill’s Connect is an easy to use learning tool that enables your instructor to
create and deliver assignments online and automatically collect the results from you.
Connect is also a great tool to take practice assignments to help you study, prepare
for exams and track your performance. You’ll get instant feedback on how you’re
doing during and after the assignment is taken.
Your instructor will give you a Web address which you’ll use to register, access your
course section, and view your assignments. Setting up your Connect account is simple
and takes only a few minutes. This same account can also be used to access other
Homework Manger course assignments if you have other instructors who are using
Connect.
Don’t sweat it….Connect is easy to use! We’ll show you.
