CAPA: an Internet-based homework system: (http://capa.colorado.edu/) This course will use an internet-based homework system called CAPA (Computer Assisted Physics Assignments). In the CAPA system, students receive a personalized homework assignment (every student's assignment is slightly different) with a CAPA ID number. The CAPA ID changes each week. The number is printed on your personal CAPA assignment or is available using the link to PIN-getter from the CAPA login page. You are told immediately whether the answers are right or wrong and, if wrong, you can try again, with no penalty, up to a maximum number of tries set by the instructor (usually 15). There will be one new CAPA homework each week and it will be due by Thursdays at 11 PM. Conscientious students generally score 90-100% on CAPA assignments. All students enrolled or waitlisted before Sunday, Aug.25 will be automatically enrolled in CAPA.  Students who enrolled or waitlisted in PHYS1120 after this date must enroll in CAPA using the online CAPA enrollment.
