The Personal Study Plan 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 deficiencies.
Some of the ways you might use a Personal Study Plan in your course include:
- Remediation
- If you are teaching a course for which students often need a refresher
on what they learned the previous term (for example, the second part of
a two-semester course), you might use the Personal Study Plan to allow
students to review and test themselves on that knowledge.
- Test Preparation
- Students often ask for the ability to retake homework assignments in
WebAssign as a test preparation tool. The Personal Study Plan lets your
students take and retake quizzes covering specific sections of the
textbook in order to prepare for tests.
- Supplementary Instruction
- Sometimes, your students need to learn more material than the length of
the school term permits you to cover in class — for example, to score well
on a standardized placement test. You can use the Personal Study Plan to
provide instructional materials and self-tests on the material that you
cannot cover in class.
- Homework
- If you are not concerned with when your students do their
homework, but only that they learn the material, use the Personal Study
Plan instead of creating dozens of homework assignments. You can even
count your students' performance on the Personal Study Plan chapter
quizzes toward their final grade.
