CYBERTUTOR for 8.01X, Fall 2001

• Brief Login Instructions

  Use a recent version of Netscape on a Mac or Athena terminal and IE on a PC. Set the screen resolution to 800 × 600 or more if possible, and maximize the size of your browser on the screen. If java and JavaScript are not enabled on your browser, CyberTutor will warn you. If CyberTutor crashes your browser, increase its memory allotment.

  Go to the CyberTutor Home page; click the ``New User'' button underneath the login area.

  Fill in all of the required fields (marked with an asterix) on this page to register yourself to use CyberTutor. Note that you will need to WRITE DOWN AND REMEMBER your case-sensitive user name and password (it can be sent to your e-mail address if you forget).
  If the above procedure fails to get you straightened out (i.e., if CyberTutor continually refuses to log you in after you check your case-sensitive name and password) reregister with a slightly different user name and password, using your correct name and student I.D. number, and we will add your new scores to your old ones in the final grades reckoning.

  • Academic Class Code and Access Code

    You will need to use the Academic Class Code MIT801XF01 and put your Student ID# in the student ID field. Leave the access code blank. Your name and scores will then automatically be entered in the gradebook.

  The remaining login information will be used solely for studying correlations so that we can, in later versions, make a skill profile for you which will help decide which new problem should help you the most.

  Press ``Submit''.

  Go to ``Assignment List'' on the left navigation bar, then click on the Introductory assignment.

• 8.01X CyberTutor Help
  • Getting Started Tutorial sessions on CyberTutor.

    These will be held from 4PM to 7PM on Mondays, starting September 10, 2001 in the electronic classroom 14-0637 (basement of Hayden Library). You should certainly go to the first tutorial if you have not logged in successfully by then.

  • On-line CyberTutor TA

    Dr. David Kokorowski will be on-line from 7PM to 9PM on Sunday and Tuesday nights before CyberTutor assignments are due. The best way to contact him is to click COMMENT on the navigation bar (on the left in CyberTutor). This will get your question categorized (e.g., about the physics, comment on the problem, about the grading of your problems). He will respond by e-mail.

  • e-mail help

    If you can't log in (even with a new user name and password), or have some other trouble then e-mail davidk@mit.edu or am@adammorton.com If you have problems with CyberTutor platform (as distinguished from the physics) you should first send a comment, indicating it's a bug when submitting it.
