“[MasteringPhysics™] is an excellent tool for aiding students in mastering scientific concepts, improving analytical and problem solving skills, and using the language of mathematics. As if that were not enough, it gives those of us in educational research access to data that has not been available to us previously for it is capable of showing us in step-by-step detail students’ thinking about a particular concept, their approach to solving specific kinds of problems, and, perhaps most importantly, the ways in which they are struggling to learn the material we wish them to learn.”

Lori Breslow, Director of Teaching and Learning Laboratories, MIT

“I like that students can work through problems in detail, getting hints as needed. They can avoid getting stuck, and work through to a solution without having to wait for after the due date. The students (and I) like that they get rapid feedback on whether their answers are correct. This increases their confidence as they work through the homework problems.”
