"I ran a correlational analysis. One class did [the homework solution] and one did not. 48% of the test scores were explained by Aplia. The difference between the class with [the homework solution] and the class without was like night and day.", "[The homework solution] has helped the students understand the terms and concepts. They work the Aplia problems prior to class. I then look at the subject areas most commonly missed, and adjust my class focus accordingly. When I walk into class, the students are already talking about the material, and I am able to maximize our class time to address problem areas."
