# Competency-Based Questions in Textbook In the latest (2nd) edition of the [textbook](https://saasbook.info), the end of each section, in addition to featuring "Check your understanding" questions, now also identifies one or more *competencies* associated with that section—things the learner should be *able to do* to demonstrate mastery of the content in that section. A subset of these competencies is associated with PrairieLearn auto-graded questions that instructors can include in their homework assignments or quizzes. You can preview these questions as an instructor, and decide to deploy PrairieLearn to give access to your students in the form of homework or quiz questions. [Learn more](/chips/quizzes-exams-practice-problems.md) about PrairieLearn and how to preview or deploy these questions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
