assignments may need to be
modified and I cannot make
those changes if a student
has started an assignment!
Select which HW assignment
and click on it.
Click on the Problem # to view the problem. You do NOT
have to work all problems at the same time. Answers are
automatically saved if you logout and return later to finish
HW. You can always see which problems are correct,
incorrect, or not started.
Work your problem on paper, then enter
your answer. You will notice a toolbox at
the left to help enter fractions, exponents,
roots, etc. Click ‘Check Answer’.
If you give an incorrect answer,
try again. Or use some ‘helps’
listed at the right.
If you want to see a similar
problem solution, click on
‘View an Example’.
You can view how the
problem should be
worked.
You could also ‘Ask’ your instructor for
help. Just type your message and send.
If you want to be given ‘hint’ to help you solve the
problem, click on ‘Help Me Solve This’.
If you would like to print the problem to take to class, to
the Math Help Room (MATH 205), or to an instructor’s
(or coordinator’s) office hours for help, click on Print.
You get immediate feedback. The
