Mercer Mettl Coding Assessments vs. WileyPLUS

It is well suited for doing a pre screening of candidates on certain assessments. Whenever you post a requirement, you get lot of applications, so the initial screening on the technical skills can be done by giving them a skilled assessment, which will help us to filter candidates better and this also saves the time of the actual interviews as they would get better screened candidates.

It's a good platform that has some very good content. We use Canvas as our learning management platform. It is nice to be able to integrate some of the pre-build WileyPLUS course modules into our Canvas course. Other publishers are good too and they sync with Canvas, but I find Wiley's Canvas modules easy to use and customize.

• Coding challenges selection based on skill sets
• MCQ selection from the library based on skill sets
• Adding marks for each question
• Ordering the questions in the assessment

• Great instructor support and training.
• Seek instructor feedback and input and keep implementing new updates.
• Adaptive Practice definitely helps student success and brings consistency across multiple sections, often taught by new part-time instructors.
• Integration into LMS has made the experience seamless for students and added the ease of automatic input in to the LMS gradebook.

They are knowledgeable and genuinely care about you and your students. There are online forums for instructors to collaborate, learn, and have fun. Instructors receive gift cards for their participation too!

I like the mechanistic approach and taught that way for several years. Klein makes a nice meeting point between the traditional, by-the-functional-group way of approaching the material and the mechanistic approach with common patterns pointed out and grouped along the way. It is one of the best, clearly written texts on Organic Chemistry on the market!! It isn't overly dry and intimidating, but more conversational - like a tutor guiding you through the foundational topic or thought process. The graphics are clear and understandable with good use of color. The canvas integration is wonderful! The adaptive practice is growing on me - I started a skeptic, but students really like the by-learning-objective feedback. From term to term, you can easily turn your homework assignments over for the next term if you like to assign specific questions.

• It helped us to pre screen candidates based on their skill sets
• Helps to reduce time in talent hiring
• Helps to streamline your talent process
• Reduces wastage of time of the interviewer by giving them proper pre screened candidates

• Before Wiley Plus, my students didn't do homework, because it was not possible for me to grade all their work. Now they do it to earn points needed to pass the class.
• Before Adaptive Assignment, my students really struggled with the multiple-choice part of the exam. Now my students have the opportunity to practice a plethora of questions provided to them in Adaptive Assignment. Now the exam grades are much better!
