When to ask it

Ask at the start of class on the day homework is due, before you go over the answers. Once a week is enough to spot a pattern.

A tip that helps

Set the time ranges to match what you planned. If you meant the assignment to take 20 minutes, a range that starts at 15 shows you quickly whether you were close.

Reading the results

If many students land in "Over an hour", cut the next assignment or split it. If most finish in under 15 minutes, it may be too easy to be worth the time.
