Abstract
Students in mathematical courses at university have to work on weekly exercises in addition to attending lectures. Most of these exercises can be solved by performing several discrete steps, but for students they can seem complex and many of them have difficulties in carrying out these exercises. These difficulties can usually be overcome by hints given by a tutor, but students working alone cannot get access to this support. Similarly, tutors cannot provide this support to students in large classes.
