Instructions for using OTC

Logging onto OTC

Changing your username/password

The default username and password are cumbersome. You may change them to whatever you wish by first log onto OTC and then select either the "Update Password" or the "Update Account" tab. You will need the old password to change these settings.

Doing an assignment

Log onto OTC first. Click on the "Homeworks" tab to see a list of posted assignments that you have not completed. You can then select any assignment and follow the instructions within to do the actual assignment.

Many people have asked about why they receive a message that the Homework Temporarily Closed. This simply means that you have assessed the assignment recently and must wait 10 minutes to access it again. Remember, you are expected to complete it in one session. If you leave and come back, the questions will be different. After submitting the homework you will be shown which questions you got wrong, but not why.
