At Hawkes, instructor feedback is critical to guiding product enhancements. We actively seek input from educators and use those insights to guide updates that make a real difference in teaching and learning. In response to recent instructor feedback, we’ve added 283 new questions across 14 lessons in our Calculus courses—expanding both the quantity and quality of practice available to students. These new questions include: More lower-difficulty questions to help students build confidence Textbook-aligned exercises that integrate smoothly into existing courses Conceptual questions that emphasize reasoning, interpretation, and understanding For instructors, these additions offer more flexibility in homework and assessments while helping students engage more deeply with core calculus concepts.
