|
| You can purchase the bundled version of Applied Finite Mathematics with a Webassign code from the UConn Co-op. Alternatively, you may also purchase a WebAssign access code directly from WebAssign and obtain a copy of the text elsewhere. |
Homework and Webassign:
| WebAssign: Online homework and quizzes for MATH 1070 are assigned and completed using WebAssign. WebAssign must be accessed through HuskyCT. To get to WebAssign, go to the HuskyCT site for your discussion section (not your lecture section), and click the link on the left navigation menu which says “WebAssign Homework”. This will take you directly to the WebAssign homework assigned for your class. You will have 5 attempts to answer each non-multiple choice question. For multiple choice questions the number of attempts will vary based on the content. After each attempt, you will be told whether your answer is correct or not. If you are not able to get the correct answer after a couple attempts, come talk to your professor or TA. We’re here to help! You might also find some help at the Q-Center. | |
| Online Homework: There will be homework assignments for each section of the text in WebAssign. (The lowest three homework sections will be dropped at the end of the term.) | |
| Online Quizzes: There will be be an online quiz for each section of the text. These quizzes will be timed assignments on Webassign. You will also have a limited number of attempts to answer each question. (The lowest three online quizzes will be dropped at the end of the term.) | |
| Discussion Work: Graded work from discussion will be decided upon by your instructor, and may involve weekly quizzes and/or worksheets. |
