Using WileyPLUS to complete algorithmic
assignments When you complete algorithmic assignments you must learn
how to move between questions and how to save and submit your work. Since your quizzes and exams will be
in WileyPLUS, you should become comfortable with the WileyPLUS environment
before you take your first quiz.
The key to using WileyPLUS is to understand how to use the buttons and
menus. Submit Answer, Save For Later á When you click Submit Answer WileyPLUS will grade your answer and show you which
parts of your answer were correct and which parts of your answer were wrong.
Correct answer boxes are highlighted in green and incorrect answer boxes
remain white. á You must click Submit Answer on each question to grade the question and record
your score in the Gradebook. WileyPLUS grades by the question. You do not submit the homework
assignment, you submit individual questions. á You will get partial credit for
each box answered correctly.
á If you wish WileyPLUS to remember
the values you have entered but not submitted you must click Save for later before you move to
another question. If you enter a number in a box and move to another question
without clicking Save for later or
Submit Answer the number you
entered will be lost. á Save for later only saves your work as you move
between questions. To get credit for answer you must click Submit Answer.
If you click Save for Later but you do not click Submit
Answer before time expires you will not receive credit. Show Solution, Show Answer, Link to
Text, Repeat Question with New Values á After you click Submit Answer two buttons will
appear: Show Solution and Show Answer. Use these buttons to see the
step-by-step solution and the answer. á The Link to Text button will take you to the section of the textbook
related to the question. á After you click Submit Answer the Repeat Question with New Values button
will appear. After you have
viewed the solution you may try the problem again with new numbers. You may repeat the question as many
times as you like.
Moving between questions: Back,
Next, Review Score á You may move between questions at
any time by clicking the question
number in the green column on the left or by using the Back and Next buttons. á At any time you may click Review Score in the left column to
see the number of points you have earned.
Gradebook You may visit your Gradebook
at anytime to see the number of points you have earned. The scores you see in your Gradebook are also displayed in Instructor Gradebook. All work you complete in WileyPLUS is
immediately recorded in the Instructor
Gradebook; therefore you do not print or send any work to the instructor.
Errors in questions Occasionally WileyPLUS will show a question number in
italics and display a message stating a professor has identified a potential
error in the question. You should
attempt these questions. If there
is an error it usually only occurs in rare circumstances.
Follow directions WileyPLUS requires that you enter your solution in a
precise format. Look for
directions in red and follow those directions exactly. For example, in most cases WileyPLUS
requires that you make an entry in every box, even if the box is not
used. If you enter all the
information correctly but do not enter Ò0Ó in the empty boxes WileyPLUS will
mark your answer wrong. For
example, see the WileyPLUS messages below:
(List multiple entries from largest to smallest
amount, e.g. 10, 5, 2.) (Round answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Maximize learning, points earned, and
number of questions seen You goal should be to maximize your learning and maximize the
number of points you earn. You should repeat the question if you can increase
your mastery of the problem or significantly increase the points earned.
However, if you understand how to do the problem and you answered most parts
of the question correctly you do not need to repeat the question; you may
learn more, get more points and be better prepared for the exam by seeing new
questions instead of repeating questions you have mastered. |
