Has anyone else given the first assignment a go? It's a great time waster. Anyway, can anyone verify that the mark you receive for the first assignment doesn't affect your unit assessment? This better be the case or I'm going to be very very mad :mad:.

the yellow thing we got in physics today says:

Assignments are usually due at 2 week intervals. They usually consist of 8 questions delivered by Mastering Physics.

it also says Assingments are worth 10% of your final assessment mark (but they take the best 5 out of 6)

=\

can you retake it?


Edit: do you happen to know if we need labcoats for physics pracs?

Just a quick question, there were two handouts in the physics 1901 lecture today, one had the assessment stuff, but I couldnt get a copy of the second handout, was it important?

You have 8 go's at each question with a small percentage taken each time.

They only take the best 5 out of the 6.

One handout was a course outline the other a module outline nothing major in both except the module outline has relevant chapters etc.

Have you guys actually looked at the first assignment yet? It has nothing to do with physics, it's just an introductory exercise on how to use the software. I'm trying to ascertain whether or not the mark we receive for this goes towards our overall assessment.

It is put down as an assignment so it might actually be counted :rolleyes:

I don't trust those physics people, for academics they forgot that Daylight savings finishes on the 27th of March.

Which would mean that the Friday 15 April has until 7am GMT to be done.

It will prompt you for the details and you just insert them as above. Maybe try again later?

With questions like "What is the magic number?" ?. I don't understand how this could possibly be an assessment, however there's nothing to say it isn't.

If the first day hasn't shown you that it probably does count, well have fun.
