Supplemental Homework

• Supplemental homework consists of problems from the textbook that are linked to each lecture.  To get the most benefit from these problems, you should do them immediately following the lecture where the material is covered.  That way, you can ask questions in the following class.  Supplemental HW is due once each week through WebAssign.   Problems are associated with each lecture, and are posted and available from the previous Friday after class and due the following Monday evening (e.g., posted Sept 26 for lectures 3, 4 and 5, and due October 6).

• From http://www.webassign.net/washington/login.html, when you hit the login button you will be redirected to the UWNetID login page (here at UW).  Use your UWNetID and password, and then you will be redirected to the WebAssign system.  Our class is Physics 121, Section C.  The first HW set is posted, due Monday night.

• The problems for WebAssign are also listed on the syllabus, so you can get the benefit of working the problems even if you choose not to purchase a WebAssign access.

• If you bought a new text at the UW bookstore, you should have received a card with access to WebAssign at no extra charge when you purchased your text.  There was a glitch in the ordering process, however, and the bookstore bundled access to Physics Portal, instead, for the first few weeks that the text was in the bookstore.  If you received a Physics Portal access code instead of WebAssign, bring it back to the bookstore for an exchange.

• If you bought your book used or from somewhere other than the UW Bookstore, you can purchase a WebAssign access code (I think it is $10 -- please let me know if it is different) when you log on.

• Through WebAssign, you also have the option of purchasing access to an electronic copy of the text for a fraction of the hard-copy price.
