SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Simplify creating and scaffolding comprehensive problem sets, integrating different types of problems and solutions for learning and teaching.

Core Features & Use Cases

Integrated Problem Scaffolding: Design problems in multiple categories, such as analytical, empirical, and coding, into a single problem set.
Dynamic Solution Creation: Generates detailed solution guides, explanations, and datasets for each problem.
Customization: Users can specify the number, types, and difficulty level of problems.

Quick Start

Generate a problem set with the topic 'microeconomics', difficulty 'advanced', and 5 problems of each type with no solutions. Execute command: /scaffold-exercises "microeconomics" --difficulty advanced --count 5 --types analytical,empirical,coding --no-solutions

FAQPage Schema

How do I create graded problem sets with analytical, empirical, and coding tasks?▼

To create graded problem sets, you specify the topic, difficulty, and count to generate analytical derivations, empirical estimation, and coding tasks. The tool dynamically builds the problem set and can generate detailed solution guides and datasets for each problem.

Can I generate homework material without including solution guides?▼

Yes, you can generate homework material without solution guides by using the no-solutions flag. This allows you to output only the problem set questions for analytical, empirical, and coding tasks while omitting the detailed explanations and datasets.

What is the best way to scaffold exercises for economics teaching assistants?▼

The best way to scaffold exercises for economics teaching is to use a tool that integrates pre-existing educational resources and constructs tailored problem sets. You can customize the number, types, and difficulty of problems to guide student understanding across various datasets.

Does this homework creation tool work with custom datasets and learning platforms?▼

Yes, the homework creation process is compatible with various datasets and learning platforms. It employs pre-existing educational resources to generate empirical estimation problems and tailored problem sets for instructors developing homework material.

How do I customize the difficulty level and number of problems in a problem set?▼

You customize the difficulty level and number of problems by specifying these parameters when generating the problem set. For example, you can set difficulty to advanced and count to 5 to output exactly 5 problems of each specified type.
