Instructions

Getting Started questions are a great way to introduce your students to WebAssign use for your course. We currently offer questions for 3 different disciplines: Algebra, Calculus, and Physics. You can create your own assignment from all the questions in the chapter, which were designed especially to coincide with the types of questions that are available in the textbook that you have selected for your class.

These assignments are not intended to evaluate the students' knowledge of the subject matter, but we recommend they be used at the start of the term to gently introduce students to the WebAssign experience. They utilize several great assignment features, such as Answer Format Tips, Hints and Feedback, and numerous submission attempts to allow for greater student exploration.

The assignment below is the getting started assignment for Beginning and Intermediate Algebra and Basic College Math classes. It will help your students become familiar with completing assignments in WebAssign and with using some of the tools that might be on your assignments for this class.

Assignment Submission

For this assignment, you submit answers by question parts. The number of submissions remaining for each question part only changes if you submit or change the answer.

Entering Variables And Symbols With mathPad
In mathematics, expressions are case-sensitive: 3x is not the same as 3X. WebAssign follows these rules. You can enter symbols by using the palette that appears when you click inside the answer box.

This exercise requires you to enter a mathematical expression.

Enter

D + p + π

To enter this answer:

1. Click the answer box to open the mathPad palette.
2. Type D + p +
3. Click Symbols in the palette.
4. Click on the symbol π that appears beneath Symbols.
5. Submit your answer.

D+p+π

Correct!

You can also enter your answer directly instead of using the palette. Try typing 'pi' in the answer box. Notice how the symbol is displayed in the answer box after 'pi' is entered.

For more information, click Help on the mathPad palette.

10. 3/3 points | Previous Answers GettingStartedP2 1.1.010.tutorial. My Notes

Tutorial Questions
Tutorial questions help you learn by breaking down complicated concepts or procedures into steps.

Each step must be completed sequentially. Most tutorials let you skip a step if you do not understand it, but you do not receive points for the skipped part, and you cannot go back to the skipped part to answer it later.

Add.

2 + 3 + 4

Part 1 of 3

Answer each part of a tutorial questions in order. Enter the correct answer in the answer box, and then click Submit.

To find the sum, first add 2 + 3.

(2 + 3) + 4 = 5

+ 4

Part 2 of 3

If you cannot answer a tutorial part correctly, most tutorials let you skip to the next part.
(Click Skip instead of submitting this answer.)

Remember that you receive no points for skipped parts, and you cannot come back to answer a skipped part later.

Now add the remaining integers. (5) + 4 = 9

Part 3 of 3

After you answer or skip a tutorial part, the answer key for that part is displayed and you cannot change your answer. To complete the tutorial, enter the final answer.

2 + 3 + 4 = 9

You have now completed the tutorial.
