Homework
Homework problems will be based on the exercises at the end of each chapter. Each assignment must be completed on-line at the website Mastering Physics http://www.MasteringPhysics.com. The homework assignments will be due by 11pm CST on the day listed in the class outline. The value of each homework problem starts at full credit if completed on (or before) the due date, after then it decreases automatically every hour until homework problems completed TWO days after the deadline are worth only 20%.

The online system will always “save your work” so you can easily work on the problems throughout the week is several sessions.
