eGrade "Does the Math" ... and Wiley Serves it for
Calculus Students
Wiley
is now hosting eGrade Calculus Tutorials on their Web site for students
who purchase selected Wiley texts. Without any instructor involvement,
students can view example problems and access a variety of calculus problem
sets for independent, self-paced practice. The Wiley eGrade software
scores student work immediately and provides individualized feedback on
student progress. Developed by John Orr and the faculty and staff at the
University of Nebraska, Wiley eGrade is a browser-based program
that enables instructors to automate the process of assigning, delivering,
grading, and routing all kinds of homework, quizzes, and tests. Unlike
other homework management programs, however, eGrade excels at quantitative
problems and was the first to effectively deliver and process the wide
range of question types needed in mathematics courses. Adopters of several
Wiley texts in Calculus, Liberal Arts Math, College Algebra, Precalculus,
Linear Algebra, and Statistics can install and use eGrade and its large
bank of skill-building questions and solutions on their school server at
no cost. For the first time, however, the Wiley eGrade Calculus
Tutorials are available to any student who purchases a $2 eGrade Student
Learning Guide bundled with one of the following texts:
Hughes-Hallett, et al.: Calculus, 2e
Hughes-Hallett, et al.: Calculus, 2e, Alternate
Version
Hughes-Hallett, et al.: Applied Calculus
Anton: Calculus, 6e
Salas/Hille/Etgen: Calculus, 8e
The Learning Guide contains the registration information
a student needs to use the tutorials on the Wiley server. For more Wiley
