Homework 1 is ready to go!

Homework 1 is now ready for you in Webcourses. Look for the Chuck Norris icon, and click through to the main homework page. Then click into Homework 1.

About homework:
  1. Homework is always due by the start of your next lecture: in this case,
    1. 10:30 AM, Monday for section 0001, and
    2. 3:30 PM Monday, for the section 0002 students.
  2. You will usually have several attempts, to help you get concepts and calculations squared away. Webcourses will record your highest score of your attempts.
  3. It is sometimes handy to use the HW as a study tool. Many student print them out and then work on the questions with their textbook and lecture notes open. Be creative.
  4. If you get stuck, post a question in the "Motion, chapters 2 - 4" discussion area. I will be in there to comment and coach, and if you feel confident to comment, feel free. Don't just blab out the answers, though!
  5. Some of my homework questions can be real brain-burners. Excellent.
