Trouble logging-in to WebAssign??   If your UF ID begins with a zero, you followed the instructions carefully, and you still get a response like 'Invalid Login', try  typing in your ID/'username' without the zero.  For unknown reasons, initial zeros are occasionally dropped from roster name entries.

etc. are now listed, as are exam dates/times.

09 April
- Welcome, to those of you who want an early start and are reading these pages before the Spring term ends.  This site will be under construction until the course begins; however, the syllabus, schedule, and assignments  are unlikely to undergo radical revisions.  Other sections (i.e., TA's, exam dates, etc., will be updated as information becomes available.

Registering for this class:  If you are having difficulty trying to register for this class, I'm quite sympathetic but there is absolutely nothng I can do to  bypass or expedite the process.
