This is the home page. Your first few assignments should be listed. ALWAYS ENTER ASSIGNMENTS, HOWEVER, FROM THE ASSIGNMENTS/TESTS TAB AT THE TOP.
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. Always Submit your Assignment for Grading before exiting the program. Your assignment is automatically submitted 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. If you exit the system and return, a different problem may be generated for those with incorrect answers.
REMEMBER • You do not have to work all problems in one setting. You may ‘submit’ what you’ve finished and return later until the assignment is due. • When you do exit and return, any problems with previously incorrect answers may be generated as different problems. • 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.
