Mastering Physics Online Homework

 

Here is information for registering/setting up Mastering physics (first time only!)

 

After you are set up, you will simply log in at:

Mastering Physics (MP) login page


We recommend leaving your computer terminal and working out solutions on paper often and regularly! One advantage of Mastering is the instant feedback on how you are doing. Also, you get the opportunity to change wrong answers without penalty. You get multiple tries (typically 6) on each problem, with no points off for wrong answers. If you get it wrong all 6 times, that particular problem is "closed out" but you can still work on others. You can log off and return at any time.


The system sometimes gives hints to problems. In many problems, we will set it so that these do not cost you any points. Work on the problems without using hints first, but use them to help you learn and understand.

 

When you input symbolic answers in MasteringPhysics, there are some traps to avoid. Read this carefully.

Mastering Physics Homework is due Tuesday evenings. The due date for MP Assignments is 8:00 PM, Tuesday night. For every hour past 8 PM, you will receive 20% penalty until the score diminishes to 0. If you have problems, check the Mastering Physics main help page first. We will drop your lowest week's MP score when computing your final grade.
