zyLabs with MATLAB Grader

MATLAB zyLabs is a program submission and autograding system using MATLAB Grader. It has several benefits:

  • Instructors can create labs and assessments using features built into MATLAB zyLabs and write scripts for custom assessments; no software installation is required.
  • MATLAB zyLabs are fully integrated into the zyVersion and give students access to industry-standard software from MathWorks.
  • Students can run MATLAB solutions directly in zyLabs, avoiding the complexity of using external tools.
  • Students receive immediate feedback on their submissions and can correct and resubmit solutions, increasing student learning and motivation.

What Students Are Saying About This zyVersion:

“The information in zyBooks is much easier to find compared to other online textbook options, and the activities and challenges make learning easier.”

Zachary A., electrical engineering major at Texas A&M University

“I love the interactivity of zyBooks. A lot of the concepts in my electrical engineering course material are difficult to grasp by just reading from a book, so the animations and interactive assignments make things easier by helping me visualize concepts and practice using them several times.”

Brendan H., electrical engineering major at Mississippi State University

“I like the interactivity of the sections, as well as the in-class assignments and extra practice problems. I don’t think I would have done as well as I did without the extra practice zyBooks was able to provide for me.”

Gregory M., computer engineering major at University of Houston
