Online Exercises

Many of the Exercises at the ends of the chapters are presented as online exercises which give feedback and provide you with a certificate of completion when you have done the exercise.

Here's an example of what an online homework exercise looks like.

You enter your answer "1" or "2" in the response box. If your answer is incorrect you will see a message (on a red background) that tells you the correct answer, and you then get the same question again. You should be able to get it right now :-)

The counters below the question keep track of how many of the questions you have answered correctly (out of the target number of correct answers), and how many correct answers in a row you currently have - your "run" (and the target run length). In the example here, the student has five correct answers (and needs ten) and currently has a run of only one.

In order to complete this particular exercise you need to have ten correct answers, and get three correct in a row.

Certificates

When you finish an exercise, the page will generate a certificate of completion that you can save or print.
