How to use Webwork?
(MATH 1100-004, Spring 2005)


Important Notice: I updated these instructions on February 3, 2005 from the description of (last year's) Webwork 1.8 interface to the description of the (current) Webwork 2 interface. You have probably noticed that some of the descriptions did not match exactly the interface you saw. This is now fixed. All the basic rules (how to log in, no credit for working as practice, be done one day before the deadline) still apply.
  1. The address of our Webwork page is
    http://www-math2.uncc.edu/webwork2/spring2005-math1100-004/.
    Click on this link.
    (If you type it, make sure you type the forward slash at the end.)
  2. Enter username and password. Your username is same as the log in Id for your 49er Express account. You must have received this when you registered for classes at UNCC. If you don't know what it is, try to look it up in our online classlist. Your password is your ID number (which is most probably your social security number). Make sure you do not include the dashes from your ID number. So, for example, if your ID is 123-45-6789, then you should enter 123456789 as your password. If everything else fails, send me an email to ghetyei@uncc.edu.
  3. Click on the "Continue" button.
  4. After you have logged in, you may choose to change your password by clicking on the line "Password/Email" in the upper left corner. You don't have to do this, but if you do, make sure you remember your new password.
  5. Now click on the name of the assignment you want to solve.
  6. After that, you may either decide to get a hard copy of the entire problem set by clicking on the link "Download a hardcopy of this problem set" OR you may begin doing the problem set by clicking on the name of the problem.
  7. In the lower left corner you may change how you view equations and wether your last answer should be saved. By default, you will view equations as images, and your last answer is saved. Change these settings only if you do not see the equations well. This experimentation is up to you.
  8. You may always log in as "practice" user to test your skills anonymously, but you will not get credit for the problems answered while logged in at "practice"
  9. Alert me if you have access problems, such that I may help you and allocate more time. I will not allow more time if you contact me with an access problem on the due date. Plan on completing your homework one day before the due date.
  10. You may find information on the mathematical symbols available on WebWork and about how to enter your answers at http://webwork.math.rochester.edu/webwork_system_html/docs/docs/pglanguage/availablefunctions.html.
