CAPA (http://loncapa.msu.edu/) : An online homework system.
- Give yourself enough time to get it done
- If you wait too long, i.e., a few hours before the assignment is due,
many students are online doing their CAPA. The system is slow and could
kick you off.
- If you do not wait until the last minute, you have the option of contacting
a classmate, professor, or TA for help if you run into a problem.
- Some students find it helpful to print out the CAPA first and write the
answers on the paper and then record the data on the computer.
- It is helpful to read the textbook and/or lecture notes first.
