WebAssign

WebAssign is an online system for doing homework. When you log on, you are given problems that you solve on paper and then enter the answers. These problems are generally straightforward or computational, and you can repeat them multiple times until you get the correct answer. The philosophy behind this is that instantaneous feedback is more effective than waiting days for a grade, and that doing a problem over if it's wrong is better than simply seeing the right answer. Because problems are graded by a computer, there are occasional technical issues, but we believe the trade-off is worthwhile. WebAssign can be accessed through the following link.

WebAssign Login

Registration

If you registered for the course by August 20, then you should already have a WebAssign login. In this case, your username is the same as your Identikey username, and your password is your Identikey password. If you registered for the course after August 20, then you will need to email math-help@colordo.edu to get a WebAssign login. Include your full name, your CU email address, your Identikey username and the course and section you are registered in.

Due Dates & Assessment

There will be a WebAssign assignment for each topic we cover, assigned when we begin that material. Please check the due dates regularly (they are denoted with "EWA"), as you are responsible for getting the assignments done on time. No late WebAssign will be accepted. However, we will allow you to miss 10\% of the WebAssign problems for the semester with no penalty, so you don't need to panic if you miss a problem here and there.

Technical Issues

If you are having a technical issue with WebAssign, you should contact WebAssign Student Support. If you are having a conceptual math issue, which is not too complicated for email, then you may email your instructor, but when you do, make sure to include ``MATH 2300'' in the subject line, and give a clear statement of the problem you are trying to solve, say what you have already tried and why you think it should have worked. It is better, however, to ask your instructor after class, during office hours, or during an appointment.
