Some Links to WeBWork Documents

  • A day in the life of a webwork2 professor
  • The index of WeBWork documents at Rochester:
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/doc/cvs/ .
    We are advised to use cvs to update.
  • A fairly recent update (subdirectory of the above):
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/doc/cvs/webwork2_rel-2-1/
  • A subdirectory of the above containing documentation for parser based answer checkers:
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/doc/cvs/webwork2_rel-2-1/doc/parser/docs
  • Two documents from the above:
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/doc/cvs/webwork2_rel-2-1/doc/parser/docs/ParserAnswerCheckers.txt
    and http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/doc/cvs/webwork2_rel-2-1/doc/parser/docs/UsingParser.txt
  • A subdirectory containing example problems written in the pg language using these answer checkers:
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/doc/cvs/webwork2_rel-2-1/doc/parser/problems/
  • A sample problem from this last subdirectory:
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/doc/cvs/webwork2_rel-2-1/doc/parser/problems/sample01.pg
  • Some documentation for the PG language:
          http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/docs/pglanguage/
  • Checking answers in a webwork problem:
          http://hobbes.la.asu.edu/courses/webwork-help/answers.html
    (Here is where I found out how to restrict the domain of a function. I found this site with a google search on webwork ans. Google is suprisingly good at finding answers to webwork questions.)
  • The basic syntax for perl:
          http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/docs/pglanguage/tutorial/perlbasics
    Here is where I learned that the escape character in PG is ~~ , NOT the backslash.
  • How problem libraries work:
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/ProblemLibraryWiring
  • WeBWork FAQ's:
          http://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/twiki/bin/view/Webwork/WeBWorKFAQs
  • A download site:
          http://sourceforge.net/projects/openwebwork/
  • readme.install file for WeBWorK version 1.8:

  • A list of Howtos:
          http://webwork.rochester.edu/docs/docs/howto/
    Among other things, this site has links to documents that explain how the cvs (current version server) system for upgrading works. Judging from a message on the forum updating can lead to unforeseen difficulties.
  • An explanation of how to create a library.
  • Basic Macros
  • A Tutorial.
