Most assignments consist of homework problems that are only available on the web. Follow links to the appropriate web page. Then you have two options for getting a hardcopy. If you hit the Print box on your web browser, the web page will print out directly. If you would prefer to download the problems into a wordprocessing program, then do a "save as" to the desktop and choose the "text" format. You can then open this file in WORD by looking for it amongst the files on your Desktop. Bring a hardcopy of your assignment to class.

On occasion you will also be asked to turn in short answers to selected questions before class begins through the assignment function on oncourse. Exactly how to do this will be explained by email and in class. You may also seek help from a consultant in any IU Computer Cluster. If for some reason you are absent, let me know immediately and turn in the late assignment as soon as possible. You can either send it as an email attachment or turn it in at my Office in 104 Goodbody Hall.
