The Homework Overview page

The top of the page gives you the following information about the assignment:

• Name - The name of the homework.
• Date Due - If your instructor set a due date, the date and time when you must complete the assignment.
• Last Worked - The date and time when you last worked on this assignment. You can begin an assignment and return to it as many times as you want until the due date.
• Current Score - If you have already worked on the homework, you see your score to date on the assignment. The score is shown in both percent and point format, for example, 79% (21 points out of 26). Each time you complete a question, your score is updated and sent to the Gradebook.

  If you have never worked on the homework, but you already have a score, the score is based on a prerequisite test or quiz. The questions you need to work on are linked and the questions you answered correctly on the test or quiz are not linked. See Do personalized homework for information about personalized assignments.

• The number of times you can click Similar Exercise or Try Again to do a new version of the same question.

If you are working on a personalized homework, you can click Show What I Need to Do to display only the questions you need to practice.

If you see Late Submission Penalty, you lose points for handing in the assignment late. If the assignment is not late, you see how your score would be affected by late submission. If you handed in the assignment late, you see how many points you lost.

At the top of the list of questions you can see scoring information:

• Media - The number of media in the assignment.
• Questions - The number of questions in the assignment.
• Scored - The number of questions that have been scored.
• Ungraded - The number of questions that your instructor needs to grade manually. For example, if you have to show your work, your instructor needs to review the question before you get a complete grade.
• Correct - The number of questions you answered correctly.
• Partial Credit - The number of questions for which you received partial credit. Some courses do not give partial credit.
• Incorrect - The number of questions you answered incorrectly.

For each linked question or media in the table you can see:

• For questions, the question in your textbook or Study Plan that matches this question.

  Move your mouse over a question link to see a message that shows the question information.

  If the message says "instructor-created question," the question was written by your instructor.

• For media, the association between the media and the section or objective in your textbook.

  Move your mouse over the media name to popup a message that tells you the textbook association.

• If you have worked on the question, you see your score in parentheses to the right of the question link. The first number is your score in points and the second number is total possible points). For example, (8/10) indicates that you earned 8 of 10 points on the question.

  You see only a partial score if you had to show your work and your instructor has not yet reviewed your work. For example, if you correctly answered a question worth 1 point, you might see (0.75/1). After your instructor reviews your work, you get full credit (1/1).

• If you have worked on the question, an icon appears to the left:

  Icon	Meaning
  	Your answer was correct.
  	Your answer was incorrect.
  	You got partial credit for the question.
  	You did not complete question or your instructor has not yet graded part of the question.

• In some courses, you see an icon for the type of question. For example, in economics courses, a graph icon appears to the right of questions where you have to draw a graph.
• If you need to show your work on the question, a red (sw) appears after the question. When you click the question link, you see both the question in the player and the Show Work window.
• If your instructor has commented on your work, you see a comment icon next to the question. Click the question number to open the question and read the comment. If the comment doesn't pop up automatically, click View Comment.

A homework assignment can include media, such as videos, for you to view.

If your instructor wants you to answer questions about the media, the name of the media and the associated questions are in the same row of the table. You may need to view or work on the media before you can answer the questions.

In the table, icons identify the kind of media. For example:

Icon / type of media
animation

PowerPoint

any other kind of media
