PHY 2048 - Physics I with Calculus - SUMMER 2011


ON-LINE GRADED HOMEWORK (due by 11:00pm on the dates shown below)


Before registering on WileyPlus make sure you have read the section on "Textbook" (see left pane) and obtained the access code through one of the methods explained there.
Have your access code ready when you first access the site. Your initial access to the online homework system depends on when you registered for the course as described below.

When you first go to the URL (see below): before doing anything click the "Browser Check" link on the right pane. This will check to see that your browser is configured properly to use the system, and if it is not guide you through the steps to do so. For a brief tutorial on the "Browser Check" and on entering your access code into the system. (See this short tutorial, originally made for a previous course, but mostly still valid..).

Remember - have your access code alread in hand before doing the next step!
To register on WileyPLUS: go to WileyPLUS and click “Register” and follow the instructions there. To properly get credit for your efforts you must enter the following "Student Profile" information correctly:
  • First Name: Your first name as it appears on the Registrars list for PHY2048.
  • Last Name: Your last name (i.e. family name) as it appears on the Registrars list for PHY2048.
  • E-mail: Your Gatorlink E-mail address (i.e. name@ufl.edu).
  • Phone: Your phone number.
  • Student ID: Your UF-ID number (8 digit, e.g. 12345678).
Note you must input correctly your Gatorlink E-mail address and your UF-ID!

Do not delay in logging-on/registering on the system. Not getting your homework in because you waited to the last minute and had trouble registering will not excuse you from the resulting zero on the homework assignment. Note that the first online homework assignment is due May 13th. The course Schedule Page gives the assigned due dates. Once the due date/time has passed no further input of answers for credit will be accepted. It is your responsibility to get your homework in on time. Last minute computer/local server problems will not excuse you from this responsibility. Waiting to the last minute to submit your homework is like playing Russian Roulette with your homework credit.

The on-line homework portion of the course will count for 15% of the overall course grade. To provide a measure of forgiveness for illnesses and possible network problems, 10% of the homework grade will be dropped (i.e. you can miss 10% of the homework and still get the full 15% of your final score - you cannot get more than 15%).
