Work in the Study Plan
The Study Plan lets you practice questions that are very similar to the questions in your assignments. If your instructor allows it, you can get help while you practice. When you are ready, you can take a test or quiz to prove that you have mastered the material.
Some courses do not offer the Study Plan.
Your instructor can customize your Study Plan. For example your instructor can decide when and how you can use the Study Plan and can choose whether you get a score for your work.
Your instructor also can choose to hide the Study Plan. If you do not see the Study Plan and its recommendations, you can still practice using the Study Plan Contents page.
You begin your practice work from your Study Plan home page.
Your Study Plan home page
Your Study Plan home page guides you through your practice work. Your instructor can choose which home page appears when you go to the Study Plan from your course menu. You see either:
- The Study Plan Recommendations page, where you see recommendations for what to work on next. The recommendations correspond to sections or objectives in your textbook. Here is an example:
- The Study Plan Progress page, where you see detailed information on all your work in your Study Plan. Form this page, you can choose what material to practice next. Here is an example:
How to work in your Study Plan

You also can use the Show Study Plan for dropdown list to see your progress on your entire Study Plan and choose other material to practice.
Click a section or objective number that you want to study.
The Study Plan Recommendations page for that section or objective opens.

You can practice as much as you want. After you have answered all the practice questions correctly, the Quiz Me button turns green:
- When you are ready, click Quiz Me for the first recommended section or objective to prove that you have mastered the material.
When you have mastered the material, your Study Plan recommends a new section or objective to work on. You also see the number of mastery points you have earned so far, if your instructor allows scoring in the Study Plan.
