Include mastery sets in your assignment to give students the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of a key concept.
Mastery sets are intended as a learning tool to prove mastery of a concept. Include closely related questions that demonstrate the same key concept. Mastery sets are best used for homework and exam preparation.
Similar to question pools, students receive a randomly selected subset of the questions included in a mastery set. This creates different versions of the assignment for each student. Students must answer a specified minimum number of these questions correctly to receive credit. The entire mastery set is graded as one question. Partial credit is not possible. The number of questions students are given and the minimum that they must answer correctly are set by you in the Assignment Editor.
