Worksheets

Part of each recitation will be spent solving worksheets, which will be distributed to you by your recitation instructor. These will prepare you for the homework and the exams. Each week, your solution to one worksheets problem will be collected for grading.

Web homework

Your homework will be submitted and graded on the internet by WebAssign. Starting from the second week, there will be weekly homeworks due at 11:55 p.m. each Thur. (except the week of the spring break). The homeworks will usually become available in WebAssign one week earlier on Wed. You can have up to 5 attempts at each question.

Students will need to use a class key to open an account at WebAssign. Your recitation class instructor will provide you with the class key for your section in the first recitation. Please note that different sections have different class keys; so use only the key designated for your section. Click here for instructions on setting up an account using the class key. More detailed instructions can be found in Quick Start Guide and Student Guide. User supports in various forms is available here from WebAssign.

WebAssign provides fourteen days of trial access starting from the first day of class. If you continue with the course after the trial period, you will need to purchase a WebAssign access card, which is available from the bookstore. The access code given in the access card is required for further access to your WebAssign account. Please note that the access card is not refundable, but it may be used in a future MA 114 class if WebAssign is used again.

MA 194

MA 194 is an additional hour of pass-fail credit that a student in MA 114 can receive provided that the student has at most 2 unexcused absences in recitation and passes MA 114. (MathExcel sections receive 2 credit hours.) It is important that students register in the same section of MA 194 that they are registered in for MA 114.

Additional Help

The Mathskeller is a mathematics resource center in room 63 of the basement of the Classroom Building. Tutorial help is available there on a walk-in basis for all 100-level mathematics courses. After the first week, the hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. See also The Study, which is a peer tutoring program located on the 3rd floor of the Complex Commons building.
