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 quantitative course like physics.......but only IF
you work
at it. These assignments encourage you to work out
selected
problems interactively online and they can boost your total score by as
much as 15 points — enough to make a difference in a letter grade, especially in borderline cases.
Each
WebAssign
homework question is based on the same physical situation as its
textbook counterpart, selected from end-of-chapter
questions/problems. However, the parameters vary in most examples: 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 two (delayed to give you more time for registration, etc.) 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, especially if the calculation involves a sequence of numbers where rounding-off may be cumulative!
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 even worse, on the last evening!!
********************************* Special Notice - WebAssign access code: If you didn't get WebAssign for this term with your text, or didn't buy unlimited access, you
can purchase 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.

**************************
WebAssign Login
Instructions [Read ALL of this first!!] :
DO NOT: Use the login procedure from any other course! Use your GatorLink name! Your login name ["username"]is your
8-digit UFID (no dash) including leading zeroes, if any. Your password is also your 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 probably 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, although (see next item):
- 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. NOTE: If you purchased unlimited access, you're already covered.
Please change your password after you log in for the first time.
