Other
Information
Browser Requirements
CyberTutor requires Javascript to be enabled on your browser. Certain
CyberTutor featuers and problem types also require Java. We suggest
that you set your monitor resolution to at least 800x600 and maximize
the browser window when using CyberTutor.
Electronic Tutorial
Sessions
These are scheduled for those who need help getting started with
CyberTutor. These will be held from 4PM to 7PM on Tuesday, Feb.
5 and on Thursday Feb 7 in room 14-0637 (basement of Hayden Library).
You should go to the first tutorial if you have not logged in successfully
by Tuesday afternoon.
HotEquation Applet
This applet displays a formatted version of any expressions that
you enter as a solution to a CyberTutor problem and is very helpful
for checking whether you've entered the expression correctly. The
HotEquation applet should automatically appear at the very top of
the CyberTutor screen. Due to browser limitations this applet is
NOT available for Macintosh users running Internet Explorer. If
you are using a Macintosh, we suggest working with CyberTutor under
Netscape 4.7.
On-line TA
Brian Fore (bfore@mit.edu) will
be on-line from 8PM to 10PM on Sunday and Monday nights before CyberTutor
assignments are due. The best way to contact him is to click the
"COMMENT" button on the left hand side of the CyberTutor
screen. The online TA will respond by e-mail.
E-mail Help
If you have problems with the CyberTutor platform (as distinguished
from the physics) you should first send a comment, indicating it's
a bug when submitting. If you can't log in, or have some other technical
problem, contact David Kokorowski (davidk@mit.edu,
617-253-4167).
