Physics

All of them (different ones throughout the year)

Extra Practice prior to a test, and a companion to the text (for students who need another pass at the material.)

A.P., Honors or Advanced

Initially, I told the students about the companion site and suggested they make use of it. For a few chapters, I had the students do the practice questions (the multiple choice ones) and email me their results. For the final exam, I again referred students to the site and suggested certain chapters to do the problems and/or practice questions. Answers are included after you do the questions so students can self-assess.

Provides practice or tutorial, Provides additional content, provides self-assessment

This is an excellent way of getting those students who are constantly pining for new material to practice off your back. The practice questions are relatively well written, and the problems reset themselves with different numbers for continuous practice.

It is VERY hard to find this website. I stumbled upon it while looking for homework-cheating websites. The practice problems are fairly trivial, and the harder problems are only those that could require a single number answer. Graphics are relatively limited.
