How it Works

 

Once you enter all the identifying information, you will be provided with a re-statement of the Assignment directions. Always read directions carefully! The "pause" between the directions and the hints gives you the opportunity to try the problem before looking at the hints. Doing so will help you benefit more from the hints when you see them.

For help, click “See a hint” in the above view. 

Hints will begin to be delivered:

You will be asked to rate the helpfulness of hints. This will help us always improve them to be as helpful as they can be!


 

You will be presented with more options. 

ALWAYS pause to problem solve in between hints! 

Click “See Another Hint” to get a progressively more specific hint. This means the first hint was meant to help you think through the problem in a deeper way. The second hint will give you even more direct help. 

Click “Another question” if you’ve finished your work on this question, but need assistance on another. 

Click “Start over” if you need to start from the beginning!
