The series of software modules called AnswerSheets is a collection of files for the spreadsheet program Excel. The user interface is through dialog boxes, buttons, and pulldown menus; no knowledge of spreadsheets is necessary in order to run the software. The primary focus of AnswerSheets is to provide answers and explanations to problems that students provide. Modules are available to handle topics as varied as unit conversion, inorganic nomenclature, stoichiometry, and VSEPR structures. The problems that a student provides can come from a textbook, homework, an exam, or any other source. Resources available to help a student include a calculator that understands chemical formulas, a glossary, and a periodic table for access to data about the elements. If a student wants practice problems, AnswerSheets can serve as a nearly limitless source, and it provides answers and explanations to the problems it generates. An additional feature is that each module provides a capsule summary of the topic. The ease of copying questions and answers from AnswerSheets into a word processor also makes the software helpful in the preparation of quizzes, complete with an answer key.
