There will be weekly online assignments administered through WebAssign. WebAssign problems are computational in nature and assess the techniques introduced in class. You will get immediate feedback on your progress and will get several chances to ensure it.
Course Access
You may access WebAssign through your section’s NYU Classes page. No separate username, password, or class key is necessary.
Licenses
You will have a two-week grace period from the beginning of the term to purchase and activate a WebAssign license. Licenses can be purchased either online through WebAssign, or as part of a textbook bundle at the NYU bookstore. You can use a credit card or PayPal when purchasing your license online through WebAssign.
Each time you use WebAssign during the grace period, you will be shown a reminder of the number of days left in your grace period, and a link to enter or purchase a license code.
Single- and Multi-semester Licenses
Both licenses that last for one semester as well as those that last as long as the Department of Mathematics is using the current edition of our textbook are available for purchase. The multi-semester license costs less than twice as much as the single-semester license, so if you think you might take more than one calculus course (including, though we hope not, the same course more than once), you should buy the multi-semester license.
Enhanced WebAssign
WebAssign comes enhanced with extra digital resources, including
- the entire textbook as a hyperlinked digital manuscript,
- videos with worked-out problems explained step-by-step, and
- links from problems to the relevant section in the electronic textbook.
Students report that the enhancements are quite useful. Since the e-book is included, you can avoid buying the physical textbook and save some money.
