    “MasteringPhysics helps my students to learn, and enjoy, physics - and it helps me to teach the subject even more effectively. Students like the 24x7 access, instantaneous feedback, and layers of hints available in the problems. I value how the system gives me information on what students didn't understand. I walk into each class empowered, already aware of what needs additional explanation and attention. MP makes my teaching better because I can concentrate on teaching physics, not grading.”

    “Mastering Physics has served several purposes with homework assignments. Skill Builders and Ranking Tasks help to develop and refine student understanding of a difficult concept in depth that cannot be obtained in either a lecture or recitation. End of Chapter problems test mastery of the concepts while providing gentle guidance for multiple student attempts.”

    “In my physics class, I emphasize the concepts of the material and problem solving skills utilizing these concepts. Therefore, problems are a very important part of my class. The homework is crucial. I assign MasteringPhysics problems (or my own that I write to emphasize something from class) that contain multiple concepts so the students can see the connections between different ideas.”

“I like the feature that tells you what is wrong with your answer, such as ‘check over your signs’. That at least lets me know I am on the right track”
