ALWAYS CLICK ON THE ASSIGNMENTS TAB UPON LOGGING IN. DO
NOT USE THE HOME PAGE TO MANAGE YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.
Select the
assignment
and click
Take. You will
notice the due
dates on the
left. Make
sure you
select the
correct
assignment.
After your assignment has ‘loaded’, click on Start Assignment Now.
Your first problem appears. You will notice all
problems are listed in the left column. After
entering your answer, click Enter Answer at the
bottom right. You will get instant feedback if you
are correct or not. You have unlimited tries at
each problem. Always Submit your
Assignment for Grading before exiting the
program (whether or not you are finished with all
problems).
Your assignment is no longer available once
the deadline passes.
If all parts of your answer are correct, you receive
feedback saying Correct. Then you can select another
problem from the left. Problems do not have to be done
in consecutive order. You may try to get a correct
answer as often as necessary until you are correct.
When you submit an assignment for grading and come
back to retake it later (before the deadline), your
incorrect problems will regenerate with new numbers.
Correct problems stay correct.
After submitting an assignment for grading, you can click
on “view assignment results” and see, for each problem,
what you answered AND what the correct answer was.
If you retake that assignment, all previously incorrect
problems will regenerate with new numbers. You do
have access to all correct answers to help you find your
mistake.
REMEMBER
• You do not have to work all problems in one setting. You may
‘submit’ what you’ve finished and return later (before the deadline).
• After submitting an assignment for grading, you can click on “view
assignment results” to see what you answered for each problem
AND what the correct answer was. Then you can log back into the
assignment to try the incorrect ones again (they will regenerate with
new numbers).
• When you do exit and return, any problems with previously incorrect
answers may be generated with a different version for you to try
again.
• You have an unlimited number of tries to get the correct answer
prior to the deadline.
• Problems may be completed in any order.
You are told if any parts of your answer are
incorrect. Try again.
Your goal should be to understand how to work
the problem, not just to get a correct answer.
