Algorithmic Problems

are auto-graded exercises that use different numeric values each time a problem is served up to the student. This gives students practice in working a problem several times; they get the same question, but with different numbers each time. This also deters cheating because each student in a class or lab receives a slightly different version of the problem and corresponding answer.

Excel Data Sets:

A convenient new feature is the inclusion of an Excel data file link in many problems using data files in their calculations. The link allows students to easily launch into Excel, work the problem, and return to Connect to key in the answers that are auto-graded to save instructors time.

Concept Overview Videos:

These assignable videos with corresponding questions provide students with additional reinforcement on core topics in the chapters. Created by instructors, these personal videos will bring online courses to life and help supplement any face-to-face class. The videos are followed by auto-graded concept-check questions, and they are organized by chapter within Connect.

Interactive Data Problems:

NEW application problems present students with data, graphs, and tables, and allow them to visualize and manipulate the information in order to answer a series of assignable and gradable questions.
