PHY 2053 - Physics I - SPRING 2013


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


To get onto the online homework system you will need to enter the access code that came with the hardcopy textbook.

To login on WebAssign: go to WebAssign using the username = Your Gatorlink UserName, institution code = ufl, and initial password = Your UF-ID (8 digit number). You should change your initial password when you login for the first time. Note that the first online homework assignment is due on Saturday January 19, 2013. The course Schedule Page gives the assigned problems and 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.

WebAssign Homework Problems:
  • The problems come from your textbook. However, the numbers are randomized for each student (i.e. the problems will be same as the textbook but with different numbers).
  • You will have five tries to get the correct answer. You will not be counted off for "significant figures", however to get credit your answer must be correct within 2%.
  • For most of the problems WebAssign will give you a "hint" after the third incorrect try.
The on-line homework portion of the course will count for 20% of the overall course grade. To provide a measure of forgiveness for illnesses and possible network problems, 10% of the on-line homework grades will be dropped in evaluating your final grade. See the overall grade formula (PDF).
