Principles of Chemistry I

The UT HOMEWORK SERVICE

All of our assignments will be generated and graded via the UT Homework Service. The service is a web-based system that allows students to submit homework via the web. We will use the same service to create your exams and final. ALL your grades will be managed by this service. You can always login and check on your grade (score) status. The system will NOT properly calculate your letter grade. We will download your scores from the homework service and calculate your overall score according to the grading policy as stated in the syllabus. So before you can do anything in this class you must sign up for the homework service. You WILL get an F in the course if you do not register for the homework service.

How to SIGN-UP (register) for your particular Class

The process incredibly EASY. All you need to get registered for the service is 3 pieces of information.

1. Your specific class unique number. Make sure you get the right unique number for the class that your are REGISTERED for. Here are the 3 MWF classes that are lumped together as a "team". Double check your official class schedule for your unique number. Here is a helpful check list:
   • 54680 is Dr. McCord's MWF 11-12 noon class in WEL 2.224
   • 54685 is Dr. McCord's MWF 1-2 PM class in WEL 1.308
   • 54690 is Dr. Vandenbout's MWF 2-3 PM class in WEL 2.224
2. Your UTEID and password. This is how you will "get in" to register in the first place.
   Without a valid UTEID and password you will NOT be able to even get to the registration screen.
3. Finally, you must know your NAME and how to enter it. Enter your last name, then use a comma, then your first name.
   PLEASE put your name as it will appear on the official UT roster that we get.

That's it! Your ready to sign up

Now click on the Homework Service link in the upper menu bar (the "HWS" menu item). Once you are past the UTEID login, pick the option to "Register as a student".

After you get yourself registered and logged in, you will download a "homework.pdf" file from which you can print and work out your homework. All answers to the homework are to be submitted over the web to the same site that you got the homework at. Student Instructions are given at the site. Please be sure and READ this instruction page, it has LOTS of information about how your homeworks are graded and much more. Remember that the homework deadlines are posted with the homework assignments. You cannot submit any more answers after a deadline passes.

You WILL need Adobe Acrobat Reader (or another 3rd party viewer) in order to view and print your homeworks. Most UT Computer Labs already have this application or plug-in. If you need it for your own personal computer, you can find it from the link given here. 8.0 is the current version.
