Revision Log
1. Set all "WeBWorK docs" links to http://webwork.math.rochester.edu (rather than /webwork_development_html/docs/) 2. Changed IMG link for logo to be relative (../images/)

You will be told whether your answers are correct or incorrect. 20 If your answers are correct you will see the statement that the problem "has been 21 answered correctly" and your teacher will have a record of this. Even if you later 22 do the problem again incorrectly, you will be told that you new answers are incorrect, but 23 you will still see the statement that the problem "has been answered correctly." 24 You only have to do a problem correctly once to recieve credit. However, if it is after 25 the due date (or if there is a limit on the number of attempts and you have exceeded it), 26 your answers will not be recorded. You can still do the problem and find out if your 27 answers are correct or incorrect, but correct answers submitted after the due date will 28 not be recorded. 29 30 <LI> <STRONG>Preview Answers:</STRONG> 31 Clicking this button will submit your answers for previewing. You can do this to check 32 for syntax errors. Also, the previewer will display a typeset version of your answers 33 so that you can tell exactly what what you are entering. E.g. 1+2/3+4 is different than 34 (1+2)/(3+4) and the previewer will show you the difference. The problem will not be scored 35 so you can use this to check for syntax errors without a wrong answer being recorded. Select 36 help on the preview page for more information. 37 38 <LI><STRONG>Notes:</STRONG> 39 Various informational notes are given, e.g. "Answer not recorded - it is after the due date." 40 Other notes warn you that the due date is approaching, that there is a limit on the number of 41 attempts for a particular problem and you are approaching that limit, that answers are 42 available, etc. 43 44 <LI><STRONG>Show Answers:</STRONG> 45 When this box is checked and you click the Submit Answers button, you will see the answers 46 WeBWorK is expecting. For students, the Show Answers check box is only visable after the 47 answer date. For professors, it's always visable. Note that you don't have to enter any of 48 you own answers to see WeBWorK's answers, just check the box and click the 49 Submit Answers button. 50 51 <LI><STRONG>Show Hint:</STRONG> 52 When this box is checked and you click the Submit Answers button, you will see a hint 53 for the problem. The Show Hint check box is only visible when a hint exists 54 and is available for reading. For obscure technical reasons, 55 in "Typeset Mode", whenever the Show Hint box is checked, WeBWorK will take 56 a long time to display the problem and solution. If the hint has been displayed once 57 in "Typeset Mode", it will always be displayed in "Typeset Mode" even if 58 the Show Hint box is not checked. <STRONG>Under these circumstances, leaving the Show Hint 59 box unchecked will result in a much faster display.</STRONG> 60 61 <LI><STRONG>Show Solution:</STRONG> 62 When this box is checked and you click the Submit Answers button, you will see a solution 63 for the problem. The Show Solution check box is only visible when (1) a solution exists 64 and (2) the Show Answers check box is visible. For obscure technical reasons, 65 in "Typeset Mode", whenever the Show Solution box is checked, WeBWorK will take 66 a long time to display the problem and solution. If the solution has been displayed once 67 in "Typeset Mode", it will always be displayed in "Typeset Mode" even if 68 the Show Solution box is not checked. <STRONG>Under these circumstances, leaving the Show Solution 69 box unchecked will result in a much faster display.</STRONG> 70 71 <LI><STRONG>Hints:</STRONG> 72 <UL> 73 74 75 76 <LI>On many problems WeBWorK will do simple arithmetic for you -- so for 77 example you can enter 4*11 instead of 44. Remember that 1/2+3 is really 78 (1/2)+3 not 1/(2+3). Use ( )'s (and also [ ]'s or { }'s) to make your 79 meaning clear. 80 81 82 <LI>On many problems WeBWorK will allow you to use elementary expressions 83 such as 2^3 instead of 8, 2sin(3pi/2), ln(e^2), (2+tan(3))*(4-sin(5))^6-7/8, 84 and sqrt(9) or 9^.5 or 9^(1/2). 85 86 <LI>If a space or juxtaposition (e.g. 2 3, 2 x, 2x, 2sin(3)) looks like multipliction to 87 WeBWorK, it will be interpreted as multiplcation but you can always enter 88 2*3 or 2*x or 2*sin(3) to make your meaning clear. 89 90 <LI>WeBWorK will interpret sin x and sin pi (or even sinpi) as sin(x) and sin(pi) 91 respectively but be careful since sin 2pi gets interpreted as sin(2)pi which 92 is really (sin(2))*pi. I.e. functions (e.g. sin) are evaluated before any 93 other operations. It's always safer to use parentheses when entering functions. 94 Also sin^2(x) is wrong. You need to enter (sin(x))^2 or (sin x )^2 or sin(x)^2 . Actually 95 sin x^2 will also work since sin is evaluated before the exponent is taken, but it's better 96 to make the meaning clear. 97 98 <LI>If part or all of the problem is not displayed (especially in "typeset" Display Mode), 99 try selecting a different Display Mode, e.g. "formatted-text", and hit Submit Answers to 100 view the problem in the new mode. 101 102 103 <LI>For faster viewing, don't check the Show Hint or Show Solution boxes when in "typeset" 104 Display Mode. 105 106 107 </UL> 108 </UL> 109 110 <HR> 111 112 113 <P> 114 <STRONG>For more information on WeBWorK: </STRONG> 115 <A HREF="http://webwork.math.rochester.edu/">Webwork docs</A>. 116 117 <HR> 118 <STRONG>This help page comes up in a separate window.
