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 years.
Most
students have found it helpful. You
who are reading this should find it so, provided that you get the assignments done
on time!
Remember, you have to push a pencil to learn physics! WebAssign helps and (we hope!) encourages you
do this.

I don't know many
people who enjoy
doing homework.
HOWEVER: it's
probably your single-most productive study activity in a course like physics.......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.
Each
WebAssign
homework question is based on the same physical situation as its
counterpart, selected from the end-of-chapter
questions/problems. However, the parameters vary: each of
you gets a
"personalized" version with a
different set of numbers.
So, 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 11:50 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 11:50 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 — or worse, on the last evening!!
********************************* Special Notice - WebAssign access code: If you didn't get WebAssign for this term with your text, you
can buy an access code at the bookstore or directly at the WebAssign URL below, *after* you log in and establish your user ID — see Login Instructions below.

**************************
Login
Instructions:
Login: Do
not use your GatorLink name! Your login name is your
8-digit UFID (no dash), including leading zeros, e.g. 00564567. Your password is also the UFID,
but you should change it after your first login. Added note for those with UF ID's beginning with a zero: If your login is unsuccessful after 2 or 3 tries, disregard the above and omit the initial zero.
I haven't been able to learn the source of this glitch but
omission is the apparent workaround. Let me know if this
doesn't work! 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 should be valid for this course, with your 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, are borrowing a 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.
