ACHIEVE FOR CALCULUS

Achieve focuses on engaging students through pre-class and post-class assessment, interactive activities, and a full e-book. Achieve is a complete learning environment with easy course setup, gradebook and LMS integration.

The easy-to-use Homework Math Palette adapts its front page to the content of the problem, bringing forward the most appropriate buttons. This helps students focus on the math rather than the format.
Homework Warnings: Our propriety grading algorithm conbines our homegrown parser and the computer algebra system, SymPy. It is programed to accept every valid equivalent answer and to trigger warnings for answers entered in an incorrect format.
Targeted Feedback ensures the focus is on learning.
Detailed Solutions: Setailed step-by-step solutions ensure students learn from a problem when they answer correctly or give up.
Guided Learn and Practice assignments include interactive content, videos, and instructional feedback to prepare students before they come to class.
Guided Learn and Practice Assignments contain CalcClips tutorial videos are integrated throughout the e-book.
Dynamic Figures powered by Desmos, take students experience further with conceptual and computational questions about the interactive Dynamic Figures. These book-specific figures are embedded directly in the e-book and additional assessment for the figures are found in the Guided Learn and Practice question banks.
LearningCurve adaptive quizzing offers individualized question sets and feedback for each student based on his or her correct and incorrect responses.
