How to Submit Your Assignment

Except for assignment 0, every assignment will be submitted by uploading files through the Dropbox feature of LEARN, accessed by clicking the Dropbox link on the course navigation bar at the top of the window. You will not be able to make submissions once the deadline expires. Here is a link to more general help on submitting files.

You can submit multiple times but each submission erases all previous ones so only the last submission counts.

Generally, the assignments will require that you submit all of your work in a single combined format. For example, in Assignment 1, you will have to submit all of your LaTeX source commands in a .tex file (see the end of Lesson 1-3 for details, before getting there just make sure you save all tex sources somewhere), and the corresponding .pdf file that is produced. You can upload separate files if you want, or you can combine them into a .zip.

Don't wait until the last minute, since network latency can cause a delay that may be as large as 10 minutes on dial-up.

Independent Work Policy

We expect that everyone will complete their own work in the course and in this way get the benefits of understanding how LaTeX, Maple, and GeoGebra work. Your work must be your own. However, we also want you to ask and answer questions that have helpful, shareable, information in the forums.

• A general question like "What's the difference between making an empty circular bullet and a filled circular bullet?" is okay for the forums, because it can be completely answered without giving away the answer to any exercises.
• Try not to post your own LaTeX code in the forums; if you do, make it short and replace any sensitive information with placeholders like "foo" and "bar."
• Help with debugging your specific code can be done only by direct communication with the course staff, either by office hours or by e-mailing them directly.
