HOMEWORK: The homework will be done on-line at Mastering Physics. If you've never used it before, bear in mind that I'm fairly new to it also! So, I ask that you please be patient with me as we learn about it together. I've set up our course & a PRACTICE ASSIGNMENT is posted. Instructions on how to access the site are below. The practice assignment isn't for credit, but I want you to do it because it teaches you how to use Mastering Physics. It is called "01. MasteringPhysics Intro". It is important for you to do it, but I won't count your score on it in your grade. If you do it, it won't count, no matter what score you get. But, at the session's end, I'll lower your homework grade by 5% if you haven't done it. It should be open to you once you have registered on Mastering Physics, & it will be closed (you can no longer work on it!) after Wednesday, September 3 at 11:30pm. This is the way it will usually be for homework. I will ATTEMPT to post assignments at about the same time we start a chapter. They typically will be due at 11:30pm about a week later

INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENT  REGISTRATION & ENROLLMENT

IN OUR COURSE ON MASTERING PHYSICS

Registration & Enrollment Steps

A. Go to Mastering Physics Here. (http://www.masteringphysics.com/).

B. On the left of the first page is the word "Register". Below that is a link, "New Students". Click on that link  & follow the

     instructions from there.The website should guide you through this process.

C. To go further, you'll need a student access code. This should have been provided if you bought a new textbook at one of the

     bookstores. If you bought a used book or if you bought a  new book on-line, you'll probably have to buy one. You can do

     this on-line by clicking "Buy Now".

D. As you go through the registration process, you will create a personal student account.

E. To enroll in my course, you must enter the Course ID for it, NOT the course title. Unfortunately, I gave you the

     wrong Course ID on the handout  I passed out the first day. I apologize for that!  The CORRECT Course ID is:

Our Course ID is MPMYLES67643

    This is case sensitive! You should then be allowed to register on the site for access to the course assignments.

F. Our text is Physics, (6th Ed) by D.C. Giancoli. Obviously, when you register, you need to choose that one! That's the book

    my on-line assignments will be from. NOTE: There is another book by Giancoli there that is an option. It is calculus based! 

    DON'T REGISTER FOR THAT ONE! Once you are registered, you can access the area for our book.
