Weekly web-based homework is assigned and graded through the Wiley Plus system. If you purchased the textbook for PHY2048 for the summer or fall 2007 semesters, you will already have a Wiley PLUS code valid for this semester’s PHY2049 (use the same username and password as your previous semester). If you do not have a Wiley Plus code from a previous semester, then you have two options:
1)    Buy a textbook, which will not include a code, and the publisher has supplied codes which we will give you and stamp your textbook.
2)    You can purchase a code only (no text) from the Wiley Web site.

The assigned problems from your textbook are listed below (they are from the "problems" listed at the end of each chpater, not the "questions". You get 5 tries at submitting a correct answer for each question. The tolerance for getting an answer correct is typically 2%. Typically there are 8 problems per assignment, with each problem worth an equal amount (1 point). Overall score is combined with the quiz score as explained in the syllabus.  Homework will be due by 11:00pm Friday on weeks without exams. There will be no extensions or make-ups for the homework. Solutions will be posted shortly after the assignments are due. You are strongly advised not to wait until the last minute to work on your homework.

Your initial access to the online homework system depends on when you registered for the course.  If you preregistered, you should have gotten an e-mail message to your Gatorlink account that give you your login name (your Gatorlink address) and password to log onto the system at http://edugen.wiley.com/edugen/class/cls52316/  . The password will have been reset since the previous semester and given to you in the email. If you did not receive an e-mail with this information, go to the above URL, click “Register” and follow the instructions there.  To properly get credit for your efforts your login name must be your Gatorlink e-mail address (including @ufl.edu).  To access the online homework you will need to enter your access code.
