Extension Usage Instructions

Are you tired of struggling under the weight of countless WeBWorK assignments?

WeBWorKer can help by doing the heavy lifting for you!

It will show you a real time formatted preview of the answers as you input them and if/where you missed parentheses. No longer will you have to waste time redoing a question just to realize you missed one tiny bracket.

WeBWorKer also adds a quick shortcut to open Piazza with the question number automatically being copied to the clipboard for quick pasting and searching.

Another added feature is using keywords from the question to search the web for online videos and resources to help you understand the relevant topics in more depth.
