Save time designing your course with <a href=\"https:\/\/webassign.com\/instructors\/features\/assignments\/course-packs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Course Packs<\/a>, which have recently been improved with even more functionality based on your feedback.

Build assignments quickly with a redesigned Assignment Editor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you prefer to create your own assignments, we\u2019ve made that process easier too. You can take advantage of the flexibility of WebAssign with a redesigned process for creating assignments. It starts with three simple steps: information, settings and questions. We reorganized your assignment settings into three core areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scoring<\/strong> controls how the assignment is graded and has been updated, making it easier for you to choose the right option for your assignment such as giving students multiple submissions or awarding bonus points for students submitting assignments early.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheating deterrents<\/strong> offers settings to help you cut down on cheating before it even happens, with the ability to hide question names, randomize question order and values, among other settings.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, in <strong>Student Feedback<\/strong>, you can now easily control what feedback and resources students can access, including help tools like Read Its, Watch Its and Master Its.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3957 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cengage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/new-assignment-editor-nov-23.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of new assignment editor settings within a Math Readiness Bootcamp in WebAssign.

Offer students more opportunities to practice with Mastery<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The newest addition to WebAssign is <a href=\"https:\/\/webassign.com\/new\/mastery\/\">Mastery<\/a>. Mastery allows you to offer your students more opportunities to practice course topics. Students will answer a group of randomized questions, similar in difficulty, on the same topic. They will need to answer a set number of questions, determined by you, correctly to earn credit for the question set. If the student is unable to correctly answer the set number of questions to meet the threshold, they can try another attempt with a new set of problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3958 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cengage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mastery.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot from WebAssign of an example Mastery question set.
