Assignments in a Mastering course

Mastering offers different kinds of assignments to support learning and to provide both formative and summative assessments, whether for low stakes or high stakes.

• The Introduction to Mastering assignment is added to your course automatically to help students learn how to respond to the question formats in Mastering homework, quizzes, and tests.
• You can create standard Mastering assignments that have settings that govern grading and presentation:
  • Homework activities usually allow multiple answer attempts, provide hints and answer-specific feedback, and let students know when their answer is correct.
  • Quiz and test activities often have security features, like not allowing students to print.
• Scheduled Reading assignments can help students be prepared for class or to work on other assignments.

Specialized assignments

• If available for your course, Adaptive Follow-Up and Dynamic Study Module assignments give students enhanced personalized remediation.
• Learning Catalytics sessions provide opportunities for student engagement and peer learning.
