You should change your password immediately after logging in to WebAssign the first time.

Laboratory reports will be done in Microsoft Word with embedded Microsoft Excel tables, and then uploaded to the assignment cross-checking system Turnitin.  Before uploading your first laboratory report, first time users will need to create an account at which time you will also enroll in your proper laboratory section.  Existing users will need to login to their account and then enroll in their proper laboratory section before uploading reports.  The instructor will provide all students with a laboratory section ID and password.

For class participation, you must purchase a TurningPoint RF clicker. Clickers can be purchased at the bookstore. Make sure you purchase the right clicker! You must then register your clicker.  When you register your clicker, you must enter your Device ID, First Name, Last Name, and Other Info is your student number (on your KWC ID card).  In addition, the Instructor Email is johnsonb@kwc.edu and the class is PHYS 2404 – General Physics I.  If you need instructions, see the following tutorial.

 


Course Evaluations are an important component of our instructional program. An on-line course evaluation system was developed to allow each student ample time to evaluate the course and instructor, thus providing the institution with meaningful numerical scores and detailed commentary while minimizing the loss of instructional time in the classroom. The evaluation window for Fall 2011 will open on Monday, November 28, 2011 and will close on Friday, December 9, 2011.  To access the system during this time, simply go to evaluation and proceed through the survey.  Be sure to close the browser tab when you are finished so that your responses are saved and you are given credit for the evaluation.  You will need to use your student number (on your KWC ID card) to log into the system; however, when you log in you will be assigned a random number that will keep all your comments and scores anonymous.
