1. If you do not have a University email account, go to most any computer on campus,
     open a web browser (either Netscape or Internet Explorer should work) and go to
     http://www.washington.edu/  . In the left hand column click on Computing and in the
     left hand column of the next page click on Get your UW NetID.

 2. Logon to http://www.webassign.net/
     On the Welcome to WebAssign.net page enter your username, institution, and password.
      Username: This is the seven digits of your student number.
      Institution: washington (This is lower case.)
      Password: Like your username, this is your student number.
    You will be able to (and should) change this later.

 3. The menu bar on the next page should include Guide, Change Password, and FAQs
     among other items. These are the most useful. If you would like to change your
     password, here is the place to do it and it can be done at any time you are on this page.

4. This is also the Current Assignment page. On this page you will see links to the
     homework assignments, your scores on the homework you have submitted, and
     find the due dates for each assignment.

 5. If you are new to WebAssign, you should read the Guide. It is an introduction to
     answering questions in WebAssign so the computer will understand what you are
     trying to say. Click on Guide and find the table of contents along the left side of
     the screen. (The pictures there are for decoration.) Read through the different
     sections of the Guide. When you are finished you should be ready to do the first
     homework assign: Intro to WebAssign.

 6. There are two ways to get back to the Current Assignments page. The Back link
     in the table of contents will take you back to the login page. At this point you can
     simply click on Submit without needing to retype your username, etc. Pushing the
     browser's Back button repeatedly will also return you to that page.

 7. Once back to the Current Assignments page, click on Intro to WebAssign. Answer
     the questions and Submit for Grading. This introductory assignment will not affect
     your grade but may make using WebAssign easier. Scanning down the next page to
     come up you will see the questions again along with your answers. If you missed a
     question or problem, there will be a red X beside the answer box. You may enter a
     new answer and resubmit the assignment. Ten resubmissions will be permitted.
     For the regular chapter assignments, the grade on your last submission will be
     recorded. You should keep in mind that each problem is personalized and your
     numerical result will not necessarily be the same with the result of one of your
     colleagues. You have to work out yourself the numerics for each of your problems.
     The best strategy is to work out each problem symbolically and at the end perform
      the numerical calculations required.  Each numerical answer should have at least
      three significant digits. If you do not provide three significant digits for each numerical
     answer it is most likely that your solution will be graded as wrong.

 8. When you are through resubmiting your assignment, scroll to the bottom of the page
      and click on Return to Assignments Summary. This will take you to the Current
      Assignments page where you can work on the next assignment if desired and available.

 9. If you exit the browser, your answers will not be lost if you have submitted them
      for grading. This means that if you do only a portion of the assignment today and
      come back tomorrow, you can begin where you left off. To do this click on Review
     Last Submission for the assignment. Exit the browser after you are finished.

10. If you have any questions or problems with doing your assignment, please contact
      your instructor:  Aurel Bulgac, (206)685-2988,    bulgac@phys.washington.edu.
