Instructions on how to
use WebWork for Math 3C
First, some philosphy. Most problems due after 1/16/03 are now to be ``turned in" via WebWork.
This allows you to get immediate feedback about your understanding of the problem and
to make multiple tries. However, you should do the problems with paper and pencil first.
The point here is that the WebWork version may, for example, ask you to match some
slope fields rather than to draw them. On exams and quizzes you may be asked to draw
a field and not to match differential equations with pictures, which is a simpler task.
There will typically be one problem to be written out by hand. The reader has about
an hour for each enrolled student. This hour is now available to grade the single problems in
more detail. These problems are to be carefully written out. They will typically require some
descriptive text. Sentences should have subjects and verbs and make understandable statements.
Variables used should be named when appropriate. E.g., "Let x denote the distance of the
ball from the ground." Math sentences should be punctuated correctly (e.g, f(x is not ok),
and all reasoning, whether verbal or mathematical, should be clearly presented. The reader
will grade these aspects of the problem. You will already have confirmation of your math
from WebWork or answers in the text.
