Fall Spring Summer Year:
- How would you like to use the program?
Resource Based: Utilization of Pearson Tutor Services and/or Pearson Writer. Instructor receives no update.
Pearson Tutor Services allows students to submit papers (max. length of 15 pages) on any subject and receive personalized feedback from a person with a Master’s or PhD in that subject area.
Pearson Writer is a web and mobile app that gives students access to a Writing, Grammar, & Research Guide; Automatic Writing Review; Citation Generator; Research Database; and Project and Task Manager. (NOTE: Pearson Writer is a time intensive resource for both students and faculty. Training is highly suggested.)
Handbook: All topics open for students. Students work at their own pace on any topics they see fit. Instructor receives no update.
Individualized Lesson Plan: Students choose and complete a set number of topics (usually between 5 and 10) by the final due date set by instructor. Instructor receives bi/weekly updates of total number of topics completed.
- Due Date for All Topics:
Class Lesson Plan: Instructor chooses a set number of topics (usually between 5 and 10, and the rest are hidden), and class completes topics according to due dates set by the instructor. Instructor receives bi/weekly update of student/class progress.
- If you’ve chosen Handbook, Individualized Lesson Plan, or Class Lesson Plan, you also have the option of having your students complete a pre- and/or post-diagnostic test. The Path Builder is a pre-diagnostic taken at the beginning of the quarter, and the Mastery Check is a post-diagnostic taken at the end of the quarter. You may choose to have students complete one, both, or neither.
