Assignment Submission Standards

To permit me to concentrate on the content of your assignments, material handed in for marking must be easy for me to identify.

I have prepared a set of Assignment Standards, which you will find as a button on my academic home page.

There are no group or team assignments, projects, or homework in this course.  You are expected to do your own work as individuals, without consulting other students for the answers.
