Homework

Homework is done online through the Mastering Physics Website. Instructions for registering and logging on are listed below.

Homework is due Wednesday 11:59 PM for full credit.

Mastering Physics Instructions:


Note: The system might be slow during registration time, so be patient!
For used book purchasers there will be a $44.50 registration fee (sorry) which provides access for two years.  

1. Go to the Mastering Physics Website
(http://session.masteringphysics.com/myct?productID=knight1) 

2. Click on the ‘Register’ button in the ‘First-Time User’ box if you have an access code.  One is should be included in your textbook if you purchased a new text.  
(If you don’t see the ‘First-Time User’ box, you can try entering through  http://www.masteringphysics.com/ and clicking on the Mastering Physics for Knight… icon.)
Alternative:  Click on the `Buy Now' button if you do not have an access code.

3. Fill in all required boxes (indicated by a red asterisk) and click the NEXT button (the zip code is 53706 and the country is United States).

4. On the next page, type in your info, and make up a login name and password. Your login name can be anything, but if you type in JaneJones, you are likely to be told that that one is taken, and you will have to be JaneJones345234, which will be hard to remember. If you use your UW email address for your login name, it will be easy to remember and is most likely available on the Mastering Physics system.

5. Click the NEXT button, and if everything has worked you will be taken to a confirmation page. You should also receive a confirmation email with your login information.

6. Don’t stop now! Click the Log In button, and it will take you to the Mastering Physics web site. Click on the MasteringPhysics Standalone (Calculus-based)  image. This will take you to the log in page.

7. This will log you in and take you to the ‘User Properties’ page.

8. Now you need to enroll yourself in the correct course.

9. Type in your UW student ID number in the student ID box. It should be numbers only, with no spaces. For instance, 9998887777. This is very important because this is our key when we upload/download grades, and you may not be able to edit or change it later!

10. In the course ID box, type in PHYS207FALL2007. This ID is also important to get right.  (Your instructor or TA will enroll you in the appropriate section.  If you change sections it is easy to switch you from one to another.)

11. Click on the ‘Save’ button. You should now be registered and taken to the course home page.

In the future, you can use the login button to enter instead of the register button.
