Assignments and communication
- WMU’s e-learning system will be used as the primary method of distributing and collecting assignments and assigning grades
- The calendar on e-learning is authoritative. It
will be updated as required throughout the semester
- Assignments are due by submission to e-learning by the date
specified there. This typically corresponds with the start of the
lecture on the due date.
- Late homework will not be accepted.
- All assignments will be collected, however, some homework may not
be graded.
- Quizzes may be announced or un-announced.
- For the purpose of computing the homework portion of the grade, one
homework assignment or quiz will be dropped.
- Re-grades: Re-grade requests must be submitted in writing within
1 week of the return of any item. The instructor reserves the right
to re-grade the entire item.

materials

all general standards and any additional specific rules defined
for the event

groups if a group assignment)
- General discussion of of homework approach is acceptable,
however, formulation and documentation of your own solution
must be done independently
- Submitted work must accurately represent solely the work of

solutions in any form. These include, but are not
limited to, existing solutions or examples from:

- The limitations on use of external homework/quiz/exam solutions
will be interpreted in a broad sense.
