ONLINE HOMEWORK
Homework problems will be assigned online via Mastering Physics. Your new textbook includes the access code to the following website http://www.masteringphysics.com/. You will need to register on this site and select a login name and password. Each student's homework is made up of the same set of questions but many of the questions will have numbers that are algorithmically generated so each student's answers will be different. The homework will be worth 12% of the final grade. Solutions to all assigned end-of-chapter problems will be available for download shortly after your homework is due (see links below).
click HERE for detailed instructions.
To setup your account you need:
Course title: 100a082
Course ID: sh100a082
We have a new homework blog at: http://physics100a.blogspot.com/
I will post my answers to questions that are emailed to me. Once they are posted on the blog you can comment on the problem and solution.
You can bring an equation sheet to the exam. It must be 1/2 of a standard 8 1/2 by 11 inches sheet of paper. You can only use one side. I will collect all equation sheets after the exam.
Note: I will also provide all the Eqs. that you will need--so you do not have to bring an equation sheet if you choose not to.
