Problematic problems.

The following problems have been reported. The code identifies the particular version of the question. This code appears on the page that is displayed after submitting an answer.

To report a problem, use the error reporting form.

General issues.

  • Questions with check boxes generally require that you select all correct answers in order to have the question marked correct.
  • There is no limit on the number of times that you may submit answers to your homework. All submissions for credit must occur by the due date. Once you receive credit for a question, you will never lose credit for that question.
  • It appears that some of the problems do not display correctly in Mozilla Firefox running on a Macintosh. The most commonly reported symptom is that subtraction signs are missing. If you wish you may try to correct this by installing additional fonts. Otherwise, students with a Macintosh should print out their homework from a Windows machine. (Mathskeller is a convenient place to do this.) Submitting homework problems on a Macintosh should not present any difficulty.
  • If you submit a multipart problem, mathclass.org will sometimes indicate which part of your answer was incorrect by writing "Your answer part n is incorrect.". This means that the nth item on the semi-colon separated list of answers is not correct. Empty items are not counted.
