WebAssign

WebAssign is used for all CHM 142, 152, and 162 classes so that students can do homework and prelaboratory exercises over the internet. In order to use WebAssign, all you need to have is an internet connection. Browsers that will work include Netscape 4.5 or greater, Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater, and AOL 5.0 or greater. You'll need to have "cookies" enabled, as well as "Java" and "Javascript". (If this seems a little too technical for you, relax. The computers in the Chemistry Study Center work great!)

Each student must purchase an access code to use the WebAssign system (cost is about $6). A new access code has to be purchased each quarter for each class, you can't use one from a previous class or quarter. These codes can be purchased either in person at the UW bookstore, or online at WebAssign's website.
