Q: What is McGraw-Hill NetGrade?
A: McGraw-Hill NetGrade is a powerful new online system for homework, testing and quizzing in calculus. Unlike most other online solutions in mathematics, the McGraw-Hill NetGrade environment allows FREE RESPONSE: now you don't have to settle for just multiple-choice formats for your quizzes and homework assignments!

Q: How does McGraw-Hill NetGrade work?
A: With a few clicks of the mouse, instructors can set up a course web site with its own URL. Setting their browsers to this location, students then "enroll" on this site by filling out a simple registration form. From this site, instructors can then create homework assignments, quizzes, tests, even proctored final exams - all with problem types exactly like those in the textbooks they support. As students complete the assignment, the McGraw-Hill NetGrade system grades the students' work, inserting the results into a gradebook that the instructor can use to generate class grades, statistics on class performance, and other reports. For the student, McGraw-Hill NetGrade provides full solutions to the problems, complete with problem-solving hints

Q: Are the questions algorithmically based?
A: Yes! Most of the available problems in the McGraw-Hill NetGrade system have an algorithm that automatically changes values in the problem while maintaining the integrity of the type of problem. This means that an instructor with 60 students in a class can generate as many completely unique versions of a single quiz.

Q: How much control does an instructor have, in selecting problems from the system?
A: McGraw-Hill NetGrade gives instructors virtually full control over item selection, formatting and characteristics. Instructors can select algorithmically generated problems (in the Assignment Editor function) or even edit the algorithm (in the Question Bank Editor function). You can select all of the text question types for a particular section of the book with one mouse-click, or select items individually and edit them to your own specifications.
