Assigned homework
Top Hat homework is a sequence of questions with a submit per question or per assignment. The agent answers each one and checks Top Hat recorded it.
Top Hat assignments and textbook readings with questions open from your Canvas course. Silent Student follows the link and answers the assigned questions. What happens live in lecture stays yours.
Top Hat homework is a sequence of questions with a submit per question or per assignment. The agent answers each one and checks Top Hat recorded it.
Top Hat textbooks mix reading with embedded questions. The agent scrolls through the page, answers the embedded questions, and moves to the next page.
Multiple choice, multiple select, numeric, word answer, sorting and matching. Choices are matched by their text, so shuffled options do not matter.
Top Hat courses are commonly linked into Canvas modules. The agent follows the same link you would, straight to the assignment.
Typing an answer is not the same as the platform accepting it. After each entry the agent re-reads the live page, so an answer that did not take is caught and retried instead of counted.
A run that turned the work in and saw the platform's confirmation says so. A run that saved some answers and then got stuck is reported as partial, with the remaining part named, never as done.
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Top Hat assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
The app follows the assignment's link out of Canvas, the same launch you would click, and lands on the Top Hat assignment. It does not ask for or type your Top Hat password.
The vision agent reads each question from a screenshot and the page's own controls, enters an answer, and reads the page back to check the answer actually registered before it moves on.
It presses the platform's own submit control, looks for the platform's own receipt, and marks the run confirmed only when it sees one. If it had to stop early, the log says which part is still yours.
Top Hat is partly a live-classroom tool. These are the parts it does not touch.
Top Hat runs on the general vision agent, not a solver written for its interface. It works most question types, but it is less predictable than our dedicated platforms, and the run log is the place to check what it did.
Attendance codes and the questions your instructor pushes during lecture happen in real time in the room. The agent works assigned work, not live sessions.
The general agent does not post replies to class discussion boards. Top Hat discussion questions stay yours to write.
If a Top Hat test is gated by Respondus LockDown Browser, Proctorio or Honorlock, it is not attempted. That is deliberate and permanent.
No. Questions your professor opens during lecture, and attendance codes, are live and in the room. Silent Student works the homework and textbook questions assigned for outside class.
Top Hat records when you answered and what you submitted, and your instructor can see it. Silent Student does not hide or fake any activity. It runs in a normal browser on your computer, signed in as you, and your course policy decides whether it is allowed.
It moves through the assigned pages and answers the questions embedded in them. It does not produce reading notes or summaries of the chapter.
Untimed assigned quizzes are worked like homework. Anything behind a proctoring tool is left alone.
The vision agent is what works this platform. The pricing page lists which plans include it, alongside the dedicated solvers and the monthly usage each plan gets.
Queue the Top Hat homework from Canvas the night before and check it in the morning.
