Mastering presents any instructor-authored message or instructions added to the assignment above the assigned items. If the assignment is pooled, you see all items in each pool, with a banner at the top reminding you that each student is given only a subset of the items in each pool.

If the assignment has substitute item titles, such as "Item 1" or "Question 1," you can still see the real titles by pointing to each title to reveal the "rollover" text that is visible only to instructors and section instructors.

If the item contains hidden parts, which students see only after they have completed previous parts, select View all hidden parts to see all parts without completing any of them.
