SmartWork
CHEM 105, Section 001 (Dr. Lammi)
SmartWork is the online homework/tutorial
environment created by the publisher of our textbook. Since the publisher
provides access to SmartWork free of charge with new
textbooks (in certain formats), I have created OPTIONAL (ungraded) assignments for interested students,
which will provide additional practice
with problem-solving, including feedback and step-by-step solutions.
I
would suggest that you work the assigned textbook problems first (these are not online), and then use SmartWork to
gain additional practice (including tips, etc.) on those concepts with which
you struggled.
ACCESSING
SMARTWORK
To use SmartWork,
you will need:
·
A valid e-mail address (it’s suggested to
use your Winthrop e-mail)
·
A registration code from the publisher,
W. W. Norton. If you bought a textbook “With Access” from the Winthrop bookstore,
this code came with your textbook. If not, you can purchase one from W. W.
Norton: http://books.wwnorton.com/books/buysmartwork/.
SmartWork access for a single semester is $25.
·
The
course enrollment key for our
specific course: CHEMAT10735 (Note that it is case-sensitive)
Once you have your registration code and
the enrollment key above, you’re ready to access SmartWork
from the following website: http://smartwork.wwnorton.com/sw/login/index.php
A screenshot of our course “homepage” in
SmartWork is shown below. Assignments are organized
by chapter; you’ll be able to click on each assignment to access and answer the
questions it contains.
A
FEW TIPS AND NOTES
·
If
you’re going to use SmartWork, make sure you try the “Getting Familiar with SmartWork” exercises, so that you understand how to
enter your answers, including dealing with subscripts and superscripts,
inserting symbols, answering matching questions, etc. This will save you
frustration later.
·
I plan
to post two “assignments” of practice problems for each textbook chapter. Once
posted, these will remain accessible to you throughout the semester. You may
try questions as many times as you like, visit and return to assignments, etc.
o
The
“Practice, Ch. 1” and “More Practice, Ch. 1” assignments are already posted for
you.
o
There
are also three math-related “assignments” under Chapter 1.
·
You
may also want to check out the ChemTours resource accessible within SmartWork.
These brief presentations on various topics may be useful supplements to your
lecture notes and textbook.
·
Again,
please remember that everything in SmartWork will be
an optional, ungraded opportunity for
extra practice and feedback.
