LearningCurveLearningCurve

Developed in light of the latest advances in learning research, LearningCurve’s game-likeadaptive quizzing is available for every chapter or module of the text.

LearningCurve provides a unique learning path for each student, with quizzes shaped by eachindividual’s correct and incorrect answers. The less a student knows about a topic, the moreLearningCurve focuses on it. And the better a student does, the more difficult the questionsbecome. Feedback for each question includes live links to e-Book pages relevant to the topic athand, guiding students to the reading they need to do to address areas that are giving themdifficulty.

Because LearningCurve is a formative assessment and not graded on a A-F scale, manyinstructors have found it to be an ideal source for pre-lecture assignments, with studentscoming to class more prepared to participate. LearningCurve is equally effective when used as apost-lecture review. Instructors have also found that making LearningCurve a small percentageof the overall grade further incentivizes students to take advantage of it when preparing forclass.


Practice QuizzesPractice Quizzes

Every chapter offers a pre-built chapter quiz drawn from pools of questions for each section ofthe text. Students can take the quiz multiple times for practice and receive different setsquestions on the same topic. This also allows instructors to use these quizzes for higher stakesas each attempt will offer differing questions on similar material.
