Restrictions and Rules:

1)  Headings: Remember to put the section number of the class (50458), your name and the title and number of the assignment (Extra Credit 4 or Project 3) on the subject line and again on the upper left hand corner of each page of your submission.

See a sample heading - click here.

2) Assignments with a time stamp after the due date will not be acknowledged. 

3)  Students submitting work or taking tests on the last day are in grave danger of not having their work credited because of the relative unreliability of servers.  I will reset once test once for any student who needs it, but after that take your tests on campus to be sure of success.  Remember, you are responsible for getting your work to me on time, even if you have to mail it or hand carry it.  No mechanical excuses accepted.

4) Special note for AOL users:  Blackboard and AOL do not cooperate well, so, I have a policy for AOL users.  Plan to take your tests on campus so you are linked directly to the PC server.  Students who try to test at home through AOL crash.  I will reset your test once only.
