The intuitive math palette allows simple entry of symbolic notation, as well as commonly used keyboard shortcuts.
Advanced question authoring allows instructors to create their own assessment problems with hints, feedback, solutions, and algorithmically generated values.
Macmillan’s math assessment engine in Achieve uses SymPy and a proprietary algebraic parser to accept every valid equivalent answer to a given problem. Additionally, instructors can set parameters on a given question to enforce specific forms of an answer, like simplified or factored form.
Guided Learn and Practice assignments help students lay a strong conceptual foundation and are available as suggested pre-class assignments. Guided Learn and Practice includes

Dynamic Figures: Powered by Desmos, Dynamic Figures encourage students to manipulate figures and toggle sliders on graphs, deeping their understanding of graphical relationships and visual representations of concepts. Dynamic Figures include directions and associated assessment questions, and many include how-to videos.
CalcClips: These whiteboard-style videos of relevant problems take students through common problem types step by step.

Additional math review is available.
Integration with campus LMS is available upon request.
