Signing on to WeBWorK:
• Go to the course blog in OpenLab and look for today’s post. There will be a link on each day’s post when there is WeBWorK homework due.
Here is a link so you can log in for the first time.
• In the login screen, enter your login name and password. Your user name is your first initial followed by your last name, all lower-case. [For example, my login is sshaver.] If you have a hyphenated last name or two last names, put them together with no hyphen nor space in between. Your password is your CUNYFirst ID.
• Once you are logged in, you can go to the Password/Email link on the left side of the page under “Main Menu”’ and change your password if you wish.
Once you have completed the steps above, you can start working on the assignments.
The due dates for the first assignments are midnight of the 11th of September. However, usually, the assignments will be due midnight the night before the next class meeting after they are assigned. Start working well in advance of the due date and time so that you can have time to redo problems whose answers are incorrect, and so that you will not have to rush. (Please consult this page for policy on extensions.)
You may usually resubmit a new answer to a problem if you get it wrong. If you need to redo any problem, you can and should consult your notes, the textbook, discuss with another student, post questions to Piazza, etc. before you submit a new answer. Note that usually each student will receive a different version of the problem, although they will be similar.
At the bottom of each assignment is a “Help” button you can use to post a question to Piazza if you encounter any difficulties using WeBWorK or if you believe that your answers are correct but they are being marked wrong.
