Expert TA assembles a team of professors to author problems... Meet our Authors
In an effort to combat the fact that students have access to many textbook answers online, we have assembled an outstanding team of problem authors who continuously add fresh unique material to our system. Using The Expert TA can also save students hundreds of dollars on textbook expenses by allowing you to choose any textbook, including older editions for use with our online home- work system.
Because your students deserve better than just right or wrong. The Expert TA is built with a sophisticated math engine that is able to grade equations in detail, similar to how you or your TA would, by identifying mistakes within equations, assigning partial credit and providing specific feedback about the error that was made and the points associated.
Solving physics problems involves numerous steps such as drawing free body diagrams, and applying equations to solve for numeric answers. The Expert TA's problems are all multi-step, guiding the students through the problem solving process. By requiring students to enter equations, rather than just numeric answers, they build problem solving skills while allowing you to see where they've gone wrong during the process.
Detailed feedback is essential to a student's mastery of the material. With equations, The Expert TA gives feedback down to the specific term that is incorrect and can even give feedback on unit errors, mathematical mistakes and multiple choice questions.
The Expert TA works on any PC, Mac or mobile device. Anytime, anywhere student's have access to complete their homework assignments or can complete practice problems and receive extra help outside of office hours with our Tutorial Mode. |

Expert TA provides educational software that performs online grading of tutorials and homework where both student grades and information are involved. Our company understands the sensitivity of this information and we are committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This privacy statement provides an overview of the terms and conditions surrounding the use of our system.
Expert TA is a secure site. All actions and transmissions including the login process and completion of material to be graded are encrypted using SSL. You will notice the url.s throughout Expert TA.s website are "https" rather than standard unsecure/unencrypted "http" connections. Security certificates issued by COMODO High-Assurance Secure Sever can be viewed for each page of our web application.
Expert TA will not in any way violate the privacy rights of any student/user as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The privacy act can be read in full at: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html
Expert TA will not sell, or in any way disclose, any user information (student, instructor, institution, or otherwise) to any third party. Expert TA will not use the provided information in any way, email or otherwise, for marketing purposes. The singular purpose of this information in the system is for educational and instructional use as is associated with the specific class.
For Expert TA to ultimately produce a grade-sheet view where students. grades are presented to an instructor, this information (student.s names and emails) must be stored in our database. Expert TA stores information about student grades in such a way that no unauthorized users can access the data. Furthermore each student is assigned a GUID or Globally Unique Identifier, grades are stored with this unique number rather than any recognizable information such as name or email. Expert TA administrators or programmers may analyze data, for such purposes as system performance, but will never see student information and grades together. Expert TA employees will never "join" this data where student names and grades are viewable together without express written consent from the course instructor; and will only do so to troubleshoot a problem or address a question posed by the instructor. The only individuals who will see student grades and identifiable student information will be the instructor for the course or any individual authorized by the instructor, such as a teaching assistant. Students will be able to view their individual grades only.
Initially an instructor account is created by Expert TA. The instructor can then create classes and register students for these classes by using a delimited list of emails for the students in each class. The system generates a temporary password for each student which the instructor will provide. The student should change thier password after logging in, to ensure no unauthorized access occurs.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Morton, Ph. D. - CEO and Founder
Expert TA, LLC
The Expert TA provides partial credit grading for the most dynamic type of homework problems. Freeing up the time of Professors and Teaching Assistants to focus on elevating the level of student leaning, instead of grading complex physics and math homework.
The Tutorial Mode of Expert TA is designed to simulate guidance a student might receive during an office hours tutoring session giving them the immediate feedback they need with the freedom of completing their homework, anytime of day.
Select the book, select the chapter, select the problems. Using the drop down menus make creating homework assignments as easy as choosing problems out of the back of the book.
Once the assignment due date has passed both the student and the Professor receive a grade report. This grade report shows a term by term breakdown where mistakes are identified, deductions are made and feedback is provided. The deductions include the ability to award partial credit for incorrectly solved portions of the equations, not simply with a right or a wrong. This is the same process used by Teaching Assistants and Instructors while grading Physics homework with accuracy and consistency.
Expert TA also allows for exporting grade information in order to integrate with the Professors other software platforms with ease. Reviewing the Class Management suite points out trends of subject mastery for the individual problems and assignments.
Using Tutorial Mode, students can select different problems to test their ability and gain insight into solution techniques. Errors are pointed out specifically, and corrections are noted. If the student is lost as to the next step, a HINT button guides the student with problem solving feedback.
Original problem materials cover the fundamental lessons in an introductory Physics course. In each tutorial a problem image and problem statement are provided to the student.
As the student completes each step of the complex equation they are provided with an indicator that tells them which part is incorrect and provides detailed specific feedback related to the mistake made.
This process emulates the way that professors help students during office hours. First giving the student hints to help solve the problem and then providing feedback when mistakes are made.
The student is also provided with a custom built equation entry palette to help them solve the complex equations with all operators and variables required to complete each step. Operators enable and disable allowing input of only valid equations, a feature which helps eliminate careless errors.
If they have trouble getting started they can access hints to guide them to the next solving step.
