WebAssign Homework
|
About
WebAssign: This
on-line, interactive homework activity has been used in many of the UF
Physics Department's introductory courses for several terms. It
has worked well for most students; it will work well for you if you get
it done on time!
Remember, you have to push pencil to learn physics; WebAssign helps you
do this.

I don't know many
people who enjoy
doing homework!
HOWEVER: it's
probably your single-most productive study activity.......but only IF
you work
at it. These WebAssignments encourage you to work out
selected
problems interactively online and they can boost your total score by as
much as 15 points.
The WebAssign
homework questions are closely
based on questions selected from those at the end of
each chapter. However, each of you gets a
"personalized" version: the parameters vary so that each of you
works with
different numbers.
If you like
working together, feel free to
discuss the problems and how to solve them with each other, but each
of you must then work
out your own assignment and enter your own answers [see above].
It's
critically important for you
to figure out how an answer was
obtained, because that's the key to doing well on the exams and
quizzes where most of your points are earned.
Each
WebAssignment is due on Sunday at 11 PM
as indicated below, except for the first and the one after Summer
Break—these are highlighted.
You get
instant feedback as to whether the answer is correct or not and you
have up to 10 attempts at getting the correct answer.
Note: the
numerical answers must be within 3% of the correct answer for WebAssign
to accept them, so be careful in rounding-off.
Important
reminder:
WebAssignments will be
completed by 11 PM on the due date.
>>>No
exceptions, no make-ups, no extensions!! [Don't even
ask] <<<
The
WebAssign server may
have occasional problems, e.g., slowing down
due to a glut of last-minute users. It's smart to begin work
early and turn in answers steadily, rather than try to do it all on the
last day (say, around 10 PM Sunday!!).
********************************* Special Notice: I regret that the bookstore(s) apparently got
incorrect info re: use of WebAssign in this course...this is only the third
year we've used it(!). If you didn't get WebAssign with your text, you
can buy an access code directly at the URL below, *after* you log in and establish your user id — see Login Instructions below.

Login
Instructions:
Login: Your login name is your
8-digit UFID (no dash), including leading zeros, e.g. 00564567. Do
not use your GatorLink name! Your password is also the UFID,
but you should change it after your first login. Please take note:
- If you had a previous WebAssign account
under your Gatorlink name, it will not work in this course.
- If you had a previous WebAssign account
with username = UFID, it will be valid in this course, with the same
password as previously.
- You
still need a valid WebAssign
license for this course. Usually it's sold with the text but if
you didn't buy it, borrowed a used text, etc., see the special
notice just above re: how to get an access code.
Please change your password after you log in for the first time.
