ONLINE HOMEWORK
Homework problems will be assigned online via Mastering Physics. Your new textbook includes the access code to the following website http://www.masteringphysics.com/. You will need to register on this site and select a login name and password. Each student's homework is made up of the same set of questions but many of the questions will have numbers that are algorithmically generated so each student's answers will be different. The homework will be worth 12% of the final grade. Solutions to all assigned end-of-chapter problems will be available for download shortly after your homework is due (see links below).
