About the Adaptive category

Updated 19 Feb 2024

This information applies to courses that include Adaptive Follow-Up assignments. For information about other assignment categories (such as Homework, Quiz, and Test), see About assignment categories.

Like other categories in a Mastering course, the Adaptive category serves as a collection of default settings that are inherited by new assignments—in this case, by each new Adaptive Follow-Up assignment that you add to a Parent assignment.

The initial default settings for the Adaptive category are selected to emphasize learning. If you want to change Adaptive Follow-Up settings, you can do either of the following:

  • Change the default settings for the category to apply these settings for all new Adaptive Follow-Up assignments.
  • Edit settings for an individual Adaptive Follow-Up.
