Lyryx Assessment for Intermediate Accounting
Lyryx Assessment is a Web-based teaching and learning tool that has captured the attention of post-secondary institutions across the country. Developed specifically for Intermediate Accounting, Fourth Edition by Beechy and Conrod,
Lyryx Assessment is a leading-edge online assessment system that delivers significant benefits to both students and instructors.
After registering their course with McGraw-Hill Ryerson, instructors can create Labs of their choice by selecting problems from our test bank and setting deadlines. Instructors have access to all the students’ marks and can view their best Labs. At any time, instructors can download the class grades for their own programs to analyze individual and class performance.
The assessment takes the form of a homework assignment called a Lab, which corresponds to the chapters in the Intermediate Accounting text. The Labs are algorithmically generated and automatically graded, so students get instant scores and feedback—no need to wait until the next class to get results!
With new Labs randomly generated each time, students have unlimited opportunities to try a type of question. Student motivation is high with these Labs, because they can be tied to assessment and because they can try as many times as they want prior to the due date, with only their best grade being recorded.
If students are doing their intermediate accounting practice and homework, students will improve their performance in the course. Recent research regarding the use of Lyryx has shown when Labs are tied to assessment, even if worth only a small percentage of the total grade for the course, students will do their homework—and more than once. The result is improved student success in intermediate accounting!
