27. www.smartphysics.com Access smartPhysics Congratulations! You are now enrolled in your course! You will be given 30 days in which to access smartPhysics before having to purchase access or redeem an access code. This will provide you with a grace period should you opt to drop the course.

28. www.smartphysics.com Access smartPhysics After the 30 days (or before, if you’d like), you must either buy access online with a credit card OR redeem an activation code (housed in a printed booklet purchased at the campus bookstore).

29. www.smartphysics.com Purchase Access (Online) 1.Complete the billing information and click “Continue.” From the “Purchase Access” link **This is the address in which your credit card bill is sent each month. This is often different than your school address, so please check before entering that information.

30. www.smartphysics.com Purchase Access (Online) 2. Complete the second portion of the online form (credit card information) and click “Purchase Access.” **Depending on your state of residence, you may be subjected to a tax for your online purchase. The system will determine your tax rate based on your billing address.

31. www.smartphysics.com Purchase Access (Online) 3. You’ll be taken to a confirmation page with your purchase details. Click “Go to Course” to return to your course.

32. www.smartphysics.com Redeem Access (Activation Code) Your activation code is located inside the booklet. 1.Scratch off your code (from your access card booklet) and enter it into the fields on the screen (Option 1 in image below) 2.Click “Submit Code” after you’ve entered the code.

33. www.smartphysics.com Need live help? techsupport@bfwpub.com The smartPhysics technical support team is ready and able to help you and is available 7 days a week by phone and email.

34. www.smartphysics.com You should spend at least 3 hours on prelectures and homework for every lecture! 1. Make a good effort on the online activities. The last CheckPoint question is optional and is called “Lecture Thoughts.” I will study these before class and will adjust the lecture to your needs. 2. Participate in lecture. You will learn more (and have more fun) from an active setting in which you participate with the instructor and your peers to probe your understanding of the fundamental principles. 3. DO THE HOMEWORK THE RIGHT WAY!!! To truly understand physics you must practice solving problems. Work on the homework on your own as far as possible, without help from the text, notes, or solutions. Then, study the textbook, and if you need it, ask for a hint that will get you a little further and continue this way until you complete it. How you can do well in this course

35. www.smartphysics.com 4.Get help from and help other classmates! Individual effort can be supplemented by group work. Perhaps the best way to solidify your understanding of a topic is to explain it to others…. How you can do well in this course
