In 2019, KFUPM deployed Cengage WebAssign as the online homework solution for the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The deployment targeted three Summer term Calculus modules taught alongside Calculus: Early Transcendentals, International Metric, 8th Edition by James Stewart and supported more than 1,500 students.
Cengage WebAssign, a Learning and Development application, was configured to manage assignment delivery, automated grading, and student feedback workflows for calculus homework. The implementation used standard WebAssign capabilities for assignment authoring, question banks, timed and untimed practice, and formative feedback to provide students with tools and scaffolded assignments to develop Calculus understanding and address common challenges.
Operational coverage was departmental and regional, centered on the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at KFUPM in Saudi Arabia, with instructors scheduling and administering assignments across three modules during the Summer term. The platform was positioned to standardize homework distribution and align problem sets with the Stewart textbook to ensure consistent content coverage across large cohorts.
Governance emphasized lecturer-led course configuration and assessment orchestration, with instructors retaining control over assignment sequencing and grading rules. The narrative describes a cloud accessible homework and assessment platform delivering assignment management, automated scoring, and student remediation features to alleviate the administrative burden of organizing, delivering and grading high-volume Calculus coursework.
