- Free plug-ins required to run MyMathLab (check your computer here)

- For students attending recitation online:
- Internet-enabled computer (preferably a wired internet connection, not wireless)
- Headphones to listen to class
- A microphone to speak in class
- A way to write on your screen
While a mouse can be used to write, it is HIGHLY recommended that students have access to a touchscreen or a graphic tablet. This could be a tablet computer, iPad, Android tablet, or a Smart Board at their high school. If you do not already have one of these options, you can buy a graphic tablet to attach to your computer relatively inexpensively.
