This textbook was designed to support online assessment of homework. Instructors can assign specific problems online, and you submit your responses over the Internet to a central computer. You can work offline and submit the answers when you are ready.

The computer checks the answers, and sends a report about your efforts, and the efforts of your peers, to your instructor. Your instructor can configure this service in a variety of fashions. For instance, they can set deadlines for homework assignments or decide if you are allowed to try answering a question a few times.

Online Homework is an optional feature; not all instructors will use it. If you want to learn more about on-line assessment in general, click here.
