Online hws

Who here also reckons the online hw for physics is worthless, it takes about 1.5 hours for each one and only contributes 15% towards the subject score, is it helpful towards the examinations or anything for that matter?

I did Physics for Biomed and we had to do MasteringPhysics each week. A little bit of it is useful but there are many bits which can be outside the scope of the course.

There are a bunch of answers floating around on Google. The things that were relevant will function as revision

I agree with Shenz0r.

I did Physics Fundamentals last year but I found the online homework pretty draining. Even though 15% of the overall score seems quite small, it's a nice way to get some free marks ;) Esp when the exam is pretty hard (NO MCQ, ALL written responses!)

The answers on Google and the silly weighting of the online homework and the pracs is the only reason everyone passes Physics. To be honest, I got a 78 and I still don't know what any of Newton's laws are...

Total waste of time that can be better spent doing the prescribed questions from the textbook, which in contrast were somewhat beneficial. Use Google to get that 15% though.
