WeBWorK:
login page for 1210-3 WeBWorK. This is where you go to do your on-line homework problems. It probably helps you the most in terms of learning if you print out a hard copy of an entire problem set first, then work most or all the problems on paper, then enter and submit the answers in the on-line WeBWork window. Although you may try problems as often as you wish and only your top score will be recorded, if you adopt the strategy of randomly trying answers you will actually be wasting your time in terms of learning the concepts.

If you are having trouble logging in, or have added the class after our administrator Professor Hsiang-Ping Huang created the webwork accounts, please send email to hphuang"at"math.utah.edu with your name and UID, so that she can set up your account. Prof. Huang has office hours at which she can also set up your account personally, or answer general webwork questions. Prof. Huang's office hours are MTWF, 10-10:40, in JWB 103. (So for our section, the time for you to go would be right after our class.)
