Use Skill Builder

Updated 07 Dec 2022

Your homework assignment might include Skill Builder adaptive help. Skill Builder helps you learn the concepts you need to understand to answer a question.

Skill Builder monitors your answers when you do a homework assignment. If you need help, you can open Skill Builder to practice. The questions in Skill Builder adjust to what you know and return you to the question when you're finished.

Your instructor might require you to complete Skill Builder recommendations when you answer a question incorrectly. Skill Builder automatically opens and you must complete the practice before you can return to the homework assignment.

To use Skill Builder:

1. If you are struggling to answer, select Skill Builder in the player window or in the Get More Help menu.

   The top of the player window changes color so you know that you are working outside your homework assignment.

2. Answer the Skill Builder questions.

   A chart at the top of the window shows your progress.

3. Go back to work on the original homework question when Skill Builder says that you are ready.

When you review your homework, you also can see your adaptive practice work.
