Sample Problem

The Sample Problems page helps you practice solving problems step-by-step, similar to what you would see on quizzes or exams. It’s meant to help you move from knowing a concept to actually using it.

  1. Navigate to the Sample Problem page.
  2. Select your course from the dropdown menu
  3. Select a topic from the dropdown menu
  4. Click Retrieve to get a sample problem from the problem bank.
  5. Carefully review the instructions at the top. Some problems will ask for the answer first, followed by reasoning; others will ask for your solution plan before you give the answer.

If You Get Stuck

  • You can ask the AI tutor for hints or to clarify questions, but don’t ask for the answer directly

Use Sample Problems when:

  • You understand the idea but can’t apply it yet
  • You want practice with test-style questions
  • You want to check if you can solve problems on your own

If you’re having trouble remembering the concept itself, use the AI Tutor and Material Review first, then return here.

  • Try the problem before asking for help
  • Write out your steps, being more explicit will let the AI provide better feedback
  • Once you’ve answered the question, retrieve a new one and start again
