Instructions for Using CAPA
(PHY184 Fall 2002)
CAPA is a "Computer-Assisted Personalized Approach for
assignments, quizzes and examinations." The system was developed at MSU
and is used at over 100 colleges and universities in the US and abroad.
It is recommended that you answer the questions and work the problems before
you 'login' to the computer. Discussion of concepts and methods of solving
problems with fellow students is also strongly encouraged.
Each assignment sheet has your Name and also a specific CAPA
ID number. You may enter solutions either through vt100 emulation
(Telnet) or through the web.
Web Version:
- To use the web version of CAPA, point your browser to the URL:

- Follow the instructions before you, and remember to "Submit All Answers"
before you exit.
Telnet Version:
