WeBWorK Introduction

Homework is done with WeBWorK (alternate entrance is http://webwork.sdsu.edu/html/current_courses.html). This is an electronic homework system that is graded automatically on the due date. This system has been extremely successful with only a couple of glitches. The grades of students taking the course are correlated with the scores on the WeBWorK homework assignments, so it is very important that you take this homework seriously (worth 9% of the lecture grade). If you find an error in one of the problems, then please email Joseph Mahaffy.
