These activities include frequent quizzes (multiple tries - best score recorded in grade-book), cumulative chapter tests (1st score recorded in grade-book) with options to practice extensively before each major test, tutorials to reinforce the concepts discussed in class, and providing continuous feedback on their progress and status through system generated reports. To accommodate different learning styles, the system presents the material in such a way as to engage as many of the different senses as possible, including the liberal use of animation and vivid colors. http://www.getintouni.com/Free/WritingGuide/ Free online resource on how to write a personal statement for university entry. http://math-and-reading-help-for-kids.org Math-and-reading-help-for-kids.org is a directory of hundreds of articles and resources to help parents and children make informed decisions about school related issues.
