Homework assignments for this course will be delivered and graded by the University of Texas Homework Service. To get started with your first assignment...
- Follow the instructions under 'Off Campus Student Enrollment' on the Student FAQ to enroll in course 999942. Important note: If you already have a UT EID from a prior course, use it - don't register for a new one.
- If you have not used the system before, read the Student overview. Also check out the Help link after you log in.
- Note on web browsers: experience has shown that technical difficulties with the UT homework system while using Internet Explorer are easily resolved by installing and using the Firefox web browser instead. You can download it for free here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox (Installing Firefox will not disable or replace Internet Explorer.)
The system gives immediate feedback on your responses to homework questions and allows you to submit up to seven responses to each question (or one fewer than the number of possible responses in the case of multiple choice questions). Your grade on each assignment will be determined by responses received by midnight on the due date (in this case 9/1). Solutions will be made available by the homework system shortly thereafter.
Note: This first assignment is a short warm-up meant to get you familiar with the online homework system. Future assignments will be more substantial.
