McGraw-Hill’s Homework Manager® and Homework Manager PlusTM

McGraw-Hill’s Homework Manager is an online electronic homework system customized to the text and is available as an option for students. The system utilizes the exercises from the text both in a static one-problem-at-a-time fashion as well as algorithmically where problems can generate multiple data possibilities and answers.

You choose the problems. Assignments are graded automatically and the results are stored in your private gradebook. Detailed results show you at a glance how each student does on an assignment or even on an individual problem. You can also monitor progress to see which students need extra help.

McGraw-Hill’s Homework Manager Plus is available with the interactive online version of the textbook. It is integrated with the text so that students can review the relevant parts of the text while doing homework. The online text is identical to the printed version, including all figures and exhibits, and provides an interactive learning experience.
