Assignments

The assignments will be done using the CAPA (Computer Assisted Personalized Approach) web based system. You will be issued PIN numbers which will give you access to your assignments over the course of the semester.

Access through any web browser is sufficient. You can also use computers in the Help Centre to access the CAPA system.

To print an assignment and submit answers, you will need a CAPA ID number for that assignment and your student number. These will be provided over WebCT. Opening and closing dates for each problem set will be posted on the web site. Note that CAPA Problem Sets are generally open for overlapping periods.

Because the emphasis in assignments is on mastery of the concepts and techniques, you will be given multiple tries to enter a correct answer to a given problem. If you are unable to get it in the first few tries, ask for help from the instructor or staff in the help centre.

Remember: The assignments are an important learning tool and the system has been set up to encourage mastery of the material.

After a problem set has closed, you can use your ID for a later set to view the earlier set including answers or you can use the actual ID for the earlier set to view both the answers and the hints which were available for those questions.

The system is easy to use but if you encounter any technical problems accessing the system, ask for help immediately. Neglect of the CAPA assignments will likely cost you about 1 grade in your final mark!!!
