Problem Sets

The problem sets in this course are openly licensed, and are available as-is, or can be modified to suit your students’ needs. In these problem sets, students are given an opportunity to apply the quantitative-reasoning skills they learned throughout the module.

Answer keys are available to faculty who adopt Waymaker, OHM, or Candela courses with paid support from Lumen Learning. This approach helps us protect the academic integrity of these materials by ensuring they are shared only with authorized and institution-affiliated faculty and staff.

This course contains problem sets that accompany each module. In these problem sets, students are given an opportunity to apply the quantitative-reasoning skills they learned throughout the module.

The problem sets are derivatives from the practice questions that are scattered throughout the course for practice–sometimes housed within a content page or sometimes found on a separate page titled “Learn By Doing.” If students complete the practice questions, which allow unlimited attempts with various numbers, they may have already encountered the majority of the questions in the problem sets.

These will come automatically loaded into your assignment tool in your LMS, but may be downloaded, adjusted, deleted, or personalized to fit your class needs.
