+E-Assign Homework Submission
Submit files onto E-assign BEFORE your recitation section on due date;
upload only ONE file at a time
Double check that your file was submitted correctly by going back and redownloading the file you just submitted (ALWAYS DO THIS!)
If you are getting a submission error, try to upload the file again later
Acceptable Browsers to submit homework on:
Internet Explorer
Mozilla
Chrome
May submit same homework multiple
times on E-assign BUT:
Only the most recently uploaded and on-time file is graded

E-Assign
New
homework submission system, so give yourself
time to submit. If technical difficulty arises, you will
have time to fix it.
Worst
case scenario:
Notify me BEFORE LAB (email me) that you cannot submit your
homework file on time
Also send me a screen shot of the submission error on E-Assign
you are having
This is the only exception for homework submission I will allow
