Homework

There are two types of homework assignments in this course, online homework (which will be graded) and pen-and-paper textbook homework (which will not be graded).

Online Homework

Online homework will be done using WebAssign. Follow this link to access WebAssign.

Log into WebAssign using your UC San Diego email address. (The first time you log in, you will be asked to make a Cengage account, or to link to an existing Cengage account.) You do not need a "Class Key". You have already been added to the WebAssign class by your instructor. (If you enrolled after the first day of classes, it might take a day or two before you make it into the system.)

Access Codes:  To get an access code for WebAssign, you can either (1) purchase the textbook from the UCSD Bookstore, which comes bundled with a multi-term WebAssign access code, or (2) purchase ELECTRONIC ONLY access from the WebAssign website. If you already have a multi-term access code (because you took Math 10A last quarter, for example) then you may use the same code. If it does not work automatically, you may need to contact Customer Support.

Logging In:  You will access WebAssign by following the link below:

https://www.webassign.net/wa-auth/login

Use your UC San Diego email address to log in. The first time you log in to WebAssign, you may be asked to create a password. You may also be asked to create a Cengage account, or to link your WebAssign account to a preexisting Cengage account, if you already have one. (Cengage is the company that owns WebAssign.) For more information, consult the WebAssign help files.

Trouble Loggin In:  If you have trouble logging into WebAssign, contact WebAssign Student Support

Due Dates:  Online homework due dates are given in WebAssign. Due dates are subject to change based on variations in course schedule or technological issues. All online homework assignments are due at 11:00 P.M., unless specified otherwise. Be sure to check WebAssign for the due dates. And don't wait until the last minute to do your homework!

Late Submissions:  It is possible to request an automatic extension of the due date, but only for 1 day. Late submissions earn a maximum of 50% of their total score. (This penalty applies only to exercises submitted after the due date and not to those already submitted before the due date.)

Homework Score:  We will study 24 sections from the book, and each one has its own assignment in WebAssign that is worth 10 points. This means there are 240 points possible in total. However, the maximum homework score is 220 points. This means that you don't have to do all of the problems in order to get 100%. Any score 220 or better will earn a score of 100%. (It's like dropping two assignments, but the dropped problems don't have to all come from the same two assignments.)


Textbook Homework

These assignments will not be turned in and will be not graded; however, certain quiz/exam questions are based on textbook homework problems, so understanding the solutions to these problems should help you perform better on the quizzes/exams. This page is subject to revision during the term. Please check regularly for updates. (Last updated 09 Jun 2019)
