WebAssign Access Card and Textbook The WebAssign access card is required for submitting homework in Physics 112. The textbook is Physics by Cutnell & Johnson, 7th ed. Physics 112 uses Chapters 16, 18 – 22, and 24 – 26 of the Cutnell & Johnson textbook. If you bought the Binder-Ready Version (BRV) of the textbook shrinkwrapped with three WebAssign Access cards when you took Physics 111, then you already have the textbook and the WebAssign Access card. You need only one WebAssign Access card per Quarter and it is valid only until the end of the quarter in which it is first used. The WebAssign Access Cards in the BRV package provide access on WebAssign to the electronic version of the textbook and to various supplements on WebAssign. If you plan to take Physics 113, save the textbook and the extra WebAssign Access card until you have completed the sequence. If you bought a used copy of the textbook when you took Physics 111, then you need to buy a WebAssign Access Card . These are sold separately at the local bookstores or from https://www.webassign.net/osu/student.html. These do not include access to the electronic version of the textbook unless you pay extra on-line to upgrade them. Lab Manual: Worksheets for Physics 112 Laboratory, 18th edition (2009). Available in local bookstores. You must buy a new copy of the laboratory manual as it contains worksheets for you to fill in during labs. On-Line Homework Problems You must submit your answers to the homework problems on-line via WebAssign for grading. These problems are taken from the Cutnell & Johnson end-of-chapter problems but with different numerical input values for each student. The sheet “On-Line Homework Instructions for Physics 111-112-113" describes how to log into WebAssign. Contact Dr. Bolland ([email protected]) if you encounter technical difficulties when you try to log into WebAssign. Please send your message to him in plain text, not in html. WebAssign allows you to submit partially-completed assignments. Once submitted, each answer is marked right or wrong. You may resubmit each problem up to 9 times before the weekly deadline. Except for the HW #0 the weekly deadline for on-line submission of homework is FRIDAYS at 8:00 PM. WARNING: Think of the DEADLINE as FRIDAY NOON to give yourself a safety margin. If you wait until Friday evening to finish submitting your answers and your computer or the server goes down, you are out of luck.

No extensions of time for on-line homework assignments will be granted.

The only cases in which a student may be excused from an on-line homework assignment are: a) hospitalization b) extended illness of the student c) death of a parent or sibling d) military duty for the entire week In those cases, present your documentation to the course manager. (Dr. [email protected]) 1

No special arrangements will be made for a student away on an official university activity; such a student needs to submit the on-line assignment before they leave. We urge you to submit partially-completed assignments a few days before the deadline. This will reduce the impact of possibly having your computer down (or some other personal disaster) close to the deadline. 3.

Pre-Lab Assignments Each lab experiment has a “pre-lab assignment”. The pre-lab assignment is listed on Web-Assign, and you must submit your answers to the pre-lab questions to WebAssign for grading. The weekly deadline for submission on-line of your pre-lab answers is MONDAY at 8 AM. Except for multiple-choice questions, you may resubmit each problem up to 4 times before the deadline. We expect you to answer these questions even if you miss the lab. Each pre-lab assignment is part of your grade for that experiment. No extensions of time for the pre-lab assignment will be granted, but if you are excused from the on-line homework assignment (for one of the four reasons listed above under On-Line Homework), that excuse can also apply to the Pre-Lab Assignment.

NOTE: There are two assignments that you need to submit on-line weekly: a) The deadline for the Pre-lab Assignments is MONDAYS AT 8 AM. b) The deadline for the Homework Problem Assignments is FRIDAYS AT 8:00 PM.

On-Line Homework Instructions for Physics 111-112-113 Homework will be submitted and graded via the online software package WebAssign. ACCESSING WEBASSIGN: To log into WebAssign, open Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator or Mozilla Firefox (Some other browsers may have difficulty), and go to the WebAssign login page (https://www.webassign.net/osu/student.html) (The WebAssign login page at https://www.webassign.net/login.html will get you to the site above as well, but the osu login site should be your primary site.) At login: Enter your Ohio State username.# and password. Username.# (for example, einstein.19). Enter your name exactly as you enter it when you log into webmail at osu.edu Password: Your OSU password, the same password you use for REGISTERING FOR COURSES at OSU.

The first time you log into WebAssign at OSU, the system will check your course schedule and will add you to the WebAssign roster if it finds you are registered for the physics course. Your password is not sent to WebAssign and thus your security is preserved. The OSU authentication system simply verifies to WebAssign that you are the person with the name.# that you entered. Contact Dr. Bolland in the Physics Department, (the WebAssign Administrator listed at the end of this document,) if you encounter difficulties when you try to log into WebAssign or have any other technical issues. Please contact Dr. Bolland ONLY if you believe there is a problem with WebAssign itself. instructor or lecturer for help with the homework.

Consult your recitation

You may use WebAssign without a registration code for a short grace period, but you will need to get a registration code, found on a WebAssign access card. WebAssign will prompt you for a registration code each time you log in until you either enter it correctly or the grace period expires (WebAssign will list the number of days left before the grace period expires). If you do not successfully enter the registration code before the grace period expires, you will be unable to submit homework. Access cards are available as part of the valuepak with the Cutnell & Johnson textbook when purchased as a new book from the local bookstores. Access cards are also sold separately by the local bookstores and available from WebAssign directly via the above website. Each access card is good for only one quarter. If you have trouble entering your access code, keep in mind that access codes do NOT begin with the letters ISBN. Also, access codes may contain the number zero or the letter "O". These are not easily distinguishable so be careful and try both if necessary. If you have difficulty and have made a reasonable effort, please contact the WebAssign administrator. Once you have correctly entered the registration code, WebAssign will inform you that you are registered for the course. This means that you are registered to use WebAssign for your course and is separate from registration at OSU. If you switch recitation sections after the quarter begins, notify the WebAssign administrator and the instructors of both sections. Once logged in, you will see your personalized WebAssign page showing the Physics class to which you are registered. From this page you can access your assignments and see your grades on assignments. SUBMITTING ANSWERS TO WEBASSIGN: WebAssign provides a STUDENT GUIDE online. Read this to familiarize yourself with the package. WebAssign also provides a tutorial so you can learn how the system works (the tutorial may be assigned for credit in your course). Consult both the tutorial and the STUDENT GUIDE for definitive information on how to use the program. For each question press “Submit New Answer to Question x” to have WebAssign grade your response to that question and tell you whether it is correct. The button “Submit All New Answers” at the bottom of the page is to have WebAssign grade the whole set of problems instead of submitting each individually. You may submit answers to part or all of the assignment at any time before its due date. Due dates are specified on the course assignment sheet and on WebAssign.

You get more than one try at each problem, and the goal is to eventually get it right. The number of tries you have used and may use are shown at the left of each problem. If you find yourself getting close to the limit, you should get help from your lecturer, your recitation instructor, the tutor room, or any friendly physics-speaking person you can find. Responses should be either in decimal numbers or the "E" format for scientific notation. For example: Enter "0.5" NOT "1/2". For example: Enter "1E-3" NOT "10^-3". WebAssign checks your answer to see if it is within 1% of the correct answer. You should keep 4 significant figures in intermediate steps and enter your answer to at least 3 significant figures, even if there are fewer significant figures in the problem. Failure to submit an answer for a problem or part of a problem results in a ZERO for that part or problem. Also, WebAssign records the grade for the LAST answer submitted, even if that answer is incorrect and a previous answer is correct. POLICIES REGARDING ONLINE HOMEWORK In order to administer the WebAssign homework fairly and consistently to thousands of students, the Ohio State University Physics Department follows the following policies: Due dates are specified on the course assignment sheet or by your lecturer. You may work on any assignment up to its due date/time. NO EXTENSIONS will be granted for online homework assignments. Assignments may be viewed but are no longer available to be worked on after the due date. You may be excused from an online homework assignment ONLY in the following special cases: • hospitalization • extended illness of the student (requires a physician’s note stating that the student should be excused from school for that week) • death of a parent or sibling • military duty for the entire week. Should one of the above special cases arise, contact the course manager with appropriate documentation in order to obtain an excuse. Also, if you find that you are not in the database and fail to contact the administrator, you will receive zero for your homework grade.

ONLINE HOMEWORK GRADES The points on WebAssign are not the same as points in the class. Your homework score for the class is calculated by multiplying the possible homework points by the percent of the WebAssign points that you earned. If you are excused from an assignment (see POLICIES above), this information will not appear on WebAssign but will be included in calculating your homework score. WebAssign administrator: Dr. Bolland ([email protected]). Course manager: Dr. Rallis (614-292-4464. [email protected])
