Our Mastering™ products are the most advanced, educationally effective and widely used homework and tutorial systems
in the world. They provide students with immediate, relevant feedback. It incorporates conceptual tutorials and rigorous
multi-step self-tutoring problems supported by research that shows dramatic educational benefits.
As lecturers, you can:
-
electronically assign homework at just the right level covering both concepts
and quantitative problems
-
incorporate a wide variety of answer types, encouraging students to work
through in-depth solutions and make cheating difficult
-
create assignments of the right length as all questions are based on actual
data from students on level of difficulty and completion time
-
check study behaviour and student performance with the built-in teaching
diagnostics.
“[MasteringPhysics™] is an excellent tool for aiding students in mastering
scientific concepts, improving analytical and problem solving skills, and using
the language of mathematics. As if that were not enough, it gives those of us
in educational research access to data that has not been available to us
previously for it is capable of showing us in step-by-step detail students’
thinking about a particular concept, their approach to solving specific kinds
of problems, and, perhaps most importantly, the ways in which they are
struggling to learn the material we wish them to learn.”
Lori Breslow, Director of Teaching and Learning Laboratories, MIT
“I like that students can work through problems in detail, getting hints as
needed. They can avoid getting stuck, and work through to a solution without
having to wait for after the due date. The students (and I) like that they get
rapid feedback on whether their answers are correct. This increases their
confidence as they work through the homework problems.”
