Product Overview
The unique Assessment, Review, and Instruction System, known as ARIS and accessed at aris.mhhe.com, is an electronic homework and course management system that has greater flexibility, power, and ease of use than any other system. Whether you are looking for a preplanned course or one you can customize to fit your needs, ARIS is your solution.
In addition to having access to all digital student learning objects, ARIS allows instructors to:
Build Assignments
- Choose from pre-built assignments or create custom assignments by importing content or editing an existing pre-built assignment.
- Include quiz questions, animations, or anything found on the ARIS website in custom assignments.
- Create announcements and utilize full-course or individual student communication tools.
- Assign questions that apply the same problem-solving strategy used within the text, allowing students to carry over the structured learning process from the text into their homework assignments.
- Assign algorithmic questions, providing students with multiple chances to practice and gain skill in solving problems covering the same concept.
Track Student Progress
- Assignments are automatically graded.
- Gradebook functionality allows full course management, including:
dropping the lowest grades
weighting grades/manually adjusting grades
exporting your gradebook to Excel, WebCT, or Blackboard
manipulating data to track student progress through multiple reports
Have More Flexibility
- Sharing Course Materials with Colleagues Share course materials and assignments with colleagues with a few clicks of the mouse, allowing multiple-section courses with many instructors to progress in synch, if desired.
- Integration with Blackboard or WebCT Once a student is registered in the course, all student activity within McGraw-Hills ARIS is automatically recorded and available to the instructor through a fully integrated gradebook that can be downloaded to Excel, WebCT, or Blackboard.
To access ARIS, instructors may request a registration code from their McGraw-Hill sales representative.
