Physics news on Phys.org
I've had to use that website for both my mechanics, and elec. & mag. classes. I hated it! It's such a waste of time, but my prof. was lazy and didn't want to have to grade papers himself. What text are you using?

at my school we use LON-CAPA
learning online network - blah blah blah

I hate it because if your units are wrong, or u rounded off too early its wrong. And you gets marks for only your answer - what ever happened to part marks?
