Interactive Data Problems

Interactive Data Problems allow students to visualize and interact with data in different ways. Students use the interactive tools to manipulate data and answer accompanying problems that test multiple levels of understanding.

Assignable Video Series

Assignable, animated videos in Connect have three accompanying questions help students understand the key learning objectives. These dynamic videos are between 2-5 minutes in length are especially helpful to keep students engaged and those who would like additional review outside of the text.

Personal Financial Plans

The assignable, auto-gradable Personal Financial Plans in Connect correlate with sections of the text and help students apply concepts learned. Case/fictional data is used to protect the privacy of the students and to provide data since many students do not have enough financial history to complete the plans. The plans are also algorithmic, which means each student is assigned the same plan with a different set of numbers to reduce cheating and provide extra practice.

Prep Courses

Prep Courses in Connect cover the basic concepts in Math, Statistics, Accounting, Excel, and Economics and are comprised of animated tutorial modules with quiz questions. NEW to the list is CALCULATOR. Instructors can assign as homework or include for optional practice. Prep Courses provide a level playing field, give instructors more time in class to cover personal finance topics, and ensure that students are not left behind.

Guided Examples

These narrated, animated, step-by-step walkthroughs of algorithmic versions of assigned exercises provide immediate feedback and focus on the areas where students need the most guidance.
