Abstract
Ranking of help functions with respect to their usefulness is in the main focus of this work. In this work a help function is regarded as useful to a student if the student has succeeded to solve a problem after using it. Methods from the theory of partial orderings are further applied facilitating an automated process of suggesting individualised advises on how to proceed in order to solve a particular problem. The decision making process is based on the common assumption that if given a choice between two alternatives, a person will choose one. Thus obtained partial orderings appeared to be all linear orders since each pair of alternatives is compared.
