If you are still having trouble locating your homework course, we recommend reading the related support article. This guide requires that your professor has requested a homework course be set up for them in our system.
Selecting your Assignment
After opening your course, you will see all of the assignments that your Instructor has made available to you. If you are taking the assignment in Canvas, BlackBoard, Moodle, or D2L/Brightspace, clicking the assignment link will take you directly to the assignment.
The Assignment Name column lists the title of each assignment or *exam.
The Type column lets you know if you are taking an assignment or an *exam.
The Starts on column is the date at time at which you can begin the homework.
The Due date column will tell you when the assignment/*exam is due.
The Attempts Done column will tell you how many times you can take an assignment, and how attempt you have made out of the maximum number allowed by your instructor.
The Grade(%) column will show you your grade once you have submitted an assignment.
*Only available in certain titles and may not apply to your course.

When you enter the assignment, the Available Hints Menu will be displayed. These are the support options your Instructor has made available to you while you take the assignment.

Homework Question View
This is an example of a question from one of our Math titles. You can see the links to to the related chapter, video lesson, and solutions will be located below the question if they are enabled by your instructor. The View available hints link will allows you to review the support options your instructor has set up at any time.
This is an example of what a question will look like if Check Answer is enabled. In the above screenshot, the first answer entered was incorrect, and there are 2 more attempts before the question locks.
Submitting your Assignment and Reviewing your Submission
When you have answered all your assignment questions, you will be asked if you want to submit your assignment to be graded. If you have not entered an answer for all questions, you will be notified before you submit that some questions are missing answers.
To review your assignment, navigate back to your course assignment page.
Under the Due date column, you will see how long you have to resubmit another attempt, if one is allowed.
The Grades column is where the grade of your latest submission will be posted.
To review your submission and the answers you entered, click the blue Details link on the right of the assignment row.
Clicking this link will bring up a window that shows all of the questions you got right, partially right, or incorrect. Questions answered correctly will be indicated by a green circle, questions answered partially correct by an orange circle, and incorrect answers with a red circle.
When reviewing the question, the answers that were correct will be marked in green. If you answered incorrectly, that answer will be highlighted in red, and the correct answer highlighted in yellow. For any question you got wrong, the correct answer will be shown if your instructor has allowed it.
