McGraw-Hill Education's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

Most of it is drudgery of the necessary variety, but every once in a while the reader is rewarded with a hilarious quip or completely random tangential information, e.g. a section about the French Revolution and the art that was produced during that period. It could probably incorporate Maxwell's equations better.
