No. Beacon uses questions, hints, and explanations to help students work toward the answer and understand the process themselves.
For a calculus problem, Beacon may prompt students to identify the concept involved, select a possible method, or consider what a derivative, integral, or limit represents. This keeps the focus on both the calculation and its meaning.
If a student makes an error, Beacon helps them examine the step where their reasoning changed course. Students can then revise their approach and continue working without being handed the completed solution.
This process helps students develop a deeper understanding of change, motion, and accumulation. They can learn how to select and apply calculus methods more independently in future problems.
