Coding WeBWorK Problems
Quick-start
guide to writing your own WeBWorK problems (and getting them
into the UO problem library)
Sample problems:
Here are some sample problems that model basic coding
techniques. When writing your own problems it can be useful to
start with one of these and then modify it, though you can also do
this with any problem in the WeBWorK library.

WWSamples.tgz archive file for uploading to WeBWorK and
WWSamples.def homework set file.
Instructions for getting these problems into your WeBWorK:
- Click on the above link for the archive file
WWSamples.tgz and download it to your
computer. Then do the same for the setWWSamples.def file.
- In your WeBWorK, go to File Manager, then double-click on the
"local" directory to pass into that subdirectory.
- Select "Choose File" at the bottom of the box of
filenames, then select the archive file "WWSamples.tgz" that you
downloaded in step 1. Then click Upload. WeBWorK will
automatically unpack the files into your directory.
- Click the "up caret" symbol to the left of "local" at
the top of the directory box. This will take you back up
one level in the directory tree.
- Again click "Choose file" below the box, select
"WWSamples.def", and then upload.
- Now go to "Homework Sets Editor" and "Import". Click
the "Enter filenames below" button and select
"setWWSamples.def". Then "Take Action!".
- At this point you should have a homework set called
"WWsamples.def" that has all of the sample problems in it.
