Course Documents

Important Note About Homework: The majority of homework that you turn in for me will be done electronically. When you email me an assignment, please follow this procedure:

In the "Title" of the document, write "Your First and Last Name - Title of the Assignment".

So, for the first assignment of the year, let's say that Chris is emailing me his timeline for Unit 1. He would simply title his document "Chris Lee - Unit 1 Timeline". This makes it a lot easier for me when collecting the assignments to determine who has turned each assignment in and who has not.

All homework assignments will be listed under the unit that it corresponds with.
