Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • MasterIt Tutorials break big problems down into smaller, more manageable steps to help students get to the root of the question.
  • Watch It Question-Level Videos for a subset of quantitative problems help guide students through a like-problem when they’re having trouble finding the way. One algorithmic version of each problem having a Watch It video is shown.
  • Stats in Practice questions are in WebAssign for the first time. These multiple-choice questions each start with a short news-sourced video to introduce each chapter so that students can understand real world context of what they’re learning and stay engaged through the whole chapter.
  • Simulation Questions by JMP require students to interact with a simulation of real data in our JMP interactive applet within WebAssign to answer the questions below.
  • Labs require students to use the instructor-selected data analysis tool to analyze a real data set – pulling together knowledge learned from that chapter and previous material to facilitate whole-picture learning.
  • Project Milestones allow one place to ideate, collaborate, and submit a longer-term project.
  • Concept Questions provide a new way of engaging with non-computational questions. Students enter a free response before they choose a multiple choice answer, closing the gap between homework and test preparedness.
