When I started my first college math course, I was a little nervous about how well I would learn in such a big classroom without any one-on-one time with my professor. But when I first started using Hawkes to do my homework, I instantly realized I had more access to learning materials than ever before. As a Hawkes Ambassador at the University of Mississippi, I want to tell you about some ways you can utilize Hawkes to make the most out of your study time.
The Hawkes Practice Mode is a great way to solidify your understanding of the material before moving on to Certify. Practice features a Tutor mode which can either give you an example problem with a hint, or even a full step-by-step answer to the solution if needed. Utilizing the Practice mode can ensure you fully understand the material and how to complete the problems step-by-step before going into Certify mode.
In Learn mode, Hawkes offers lessons on the topic you’re studying along with an instructional video on how to do the problems. These videos can be very helpful for those times where you don’t remember some parts of your professor’s lesson or you just need a little refresher. Sometimes it’s easiest to watch a video explaining the topic, and this is when the instructional videos are perfect.
The Practice Test feature, found under the WebTest section, can help you test your knowledge before an upcoming test. By creating a Practice Test, choose which topics you would like to practice, and Hawkes will do the rest in creating the test. Taking Practice Tests until you’ve mastered them can help ensure you know all of the materials and are ready to go on test day!
