Determine the Number of Problems in the Activities

Learners react differently to the number of problems they have to complete. Some may give up, or start getting answers wrong, if given too many problems to solve. Others may not find an assignment sufficiently challenging if given too few problems, or they may not have sufficient practice before advancing to the next skill. To accommodate these differences you can:

You can specify the total number of problems in a Diagnosis. You can also specify the minimum number of problems the program presents at each level, before advancing or decreasing levels. Set the numbers based on the time you want spent in Diagnosis, and how difficult you want to make progress. See Diagnosis in Preferences

The assignment provides a printed sheet of problems for homework away from the computer, or for practice solving problems with pencil and paper. Set the number of problems you want for homework. Consider the amount of time it takes to solve the problems, and to check the problems. See Assignment in Options

If the student does not progress to the next level after several Practices, consider reducing the number of problems assigned (if the number has been large). If the student seems to be in a pattern of advancing a level and then falling back to the previous level, consider increasing the number of problems in Practice. See Practice in Preferences
