  • There are weekly homework assignments provided for you on the internet. The problems are individually tailored and computer graded. You may try each problem as many times as you wish - incorrect answers do not count against you and correct solutions (within the percentages indicated with each problem) are immediately credited to you. All homework for the week is due on Friday at midnight. After this time the correct solution will be displayed on the screen and no credit will be given. 
  • On your first login to the homework site, you must "sign on". The sign-on dialogue will ask you for your username and password.   Use your pilot username and password.  The class is PHY231. 
  • While working on the homework, you may send e-mail to get help. Please include your pilot e-mail address in the body of your message.  This e-mail will generally be answered by 4:00 pm of the next day. There will also be a "chat-room" set up on the homework web site which can be used anytime.
