Chemistry Online Assignments
1. General Considerations
One hundred points out of the 600 total points in General Chemistry will
be obtained by completing homework problems assigned at the web site
WebAssign.
https://www.webassign.net/login.html
Each problem set will have a due date and time.
You must complete these assignments before the due date. After the
due date you will receive no points.
WebAssign allows you to submit answers twice.
The first time your assignment will be immediately graded and the
incorrect answers are marked. If you
are satisfied with the initial grade, then you are finished with that assignment.
If you are not satisfied with the grade, then you can correct the answers
and submit it a second time. Your score for the assignment will be that of
the second assignment.
2. Signing Up For WebAssign
You should purchase the Access Code
at the HCC bookstore
or Books and More (Lois Av).
If this is not possible, you can purchase the Access Code at the following
link at a higher price.
The Access Code allows you to sign on to
WebAssign to
complete your homework assignments.
WebAssign
has a two-week grace period for submitting the Access Code.
If you do not enter this code in two weeks you will not be allowed
to sign in to the web site.
3. Computers
If you have a computer at home that connects to the web, then you may do
the assignments at home. If you do
not have a computer or an internet connection, then you should complete your
assignment at one of the computer labs at HCC.
Computer labs are located in the Science building on the second
level, Social Science building, Humanities building, Library, and Technology
building. If you cannot use
HCC’s computers, then you complete your assignments at a public library.

Before starting your first chemistry assignment it is highly recommended
that you complete the assignment called
Introduction To WebAssign
. This assignment will help you to
better understand: 1. the WebAssign interface,
2. how to answer different types of questions, 3. entering numbers
, and 4. entering the Access
Code.
7. Grading
EEach problem and question has a point value. Your score on each assignment
is the total number of correct answers. At the end of the semester your
points will be converted to the percent of the total points. This is your
grade for the WebAssign assignments. For example, if you obtain 265/375
points throughout the semester, you will earn 71/100 points for your Online
Assignment. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you complete all WebAssign assignments and
obtain an average greater than 75% you will receive a bonus of 10 points,
or if you complete all assignments and have an average over 85% you will
receive a bonus of 20 points.
8. Final Note
The WebAssign
homework assignments will help you to better prepare for the tests.
Often these problems will be similar or the same as those on the
exams. Remember to keep up with your
assignments and do not wait until the last minute.
If you do not submit your answers by the due date they will not
count.
No excuses will be accepted!
