Using the Personal Study Plan

Did you know WebAssign offers a Personal Study Plan (PSP) for your students with select textbooks? The PSP is a set of practice questions, chapter quizzes, and instructional materials that your students can use to learn, practice, and test their knowledge at their own pace. This collection helps your students identify which sections of the textbook they have mastered and which sections require more study, and provides each student a customized selection of instructional resources that address the student’s specific deficiencies. 
 

Some of the ways you might use a Personal Study Plan in your course include:

  • Test Preparation
  • Supplementary Instruction
  • Remediation
  • Homework

And best of all, it is included as a free additional resource alongside a selection of WebAssign-supported textbooks. Learn how to enable the PSP in your classroom today and don't hesitate to contact Matt, one of our friendly customer representatives, with any additional questions.

 

Have you already added the PSP to your course? We would love your thoughts and comments on how you use it, what you like about it, and any other suggestions. We invite you to share your feedback in this short survey now.

Tip: Enable Show My Work to Increase Student Engagement

You can utilize WebAssign's Show My Work feature to let your students explain the reasoning behind their answers on assignment questions. This feature can also be used to:

  • Encourage students to focus not just on getting the correct answer, but on the methodology used.
  • Help students practice critical or creative thinking.
  • Identify common mistakes being made by your students, so you can provide additional instruction based on the completeness or correctness of the work shown.
  • Help detect or deter cheating.

You can award points for optional Show My Work responses, for example, if a student demonstrates understanding of the problem but makes a mathematical error. Learn how to start using Show My Work in your classroom today.
