Building a Homework Set using publicly-available Problems
Every Homework Set needs to contain a collection of Problems for a Student to solve. The easiest way to populate a Homework Set with Problems is to add them from an open problem repository.
The WeBWorK Open Problem Library (OPL) contains over 30,000 reviewed and tested problems, organized by topic and by publisher/textbook.
