  • Homework problems are multistep with a variety of answer inputs--each with detailed and targeted feedback specific to that answer.
  • Homework assignments include over 4200 questions in a variety of types and difficulty levels.
  • Every homework question provides students with hints, answer-specific feedback, and fully worked solutions to help students focus on understanding, not just assessment.
