**VERY IMPORTANT PROCEDURAL NOTE for STUDENTS**
To protect their work from unpredictable computer events (such as program or system crashes) students should compose their assignment answers in a word processing program (saving their file often!) and then paste the text they compose into the Web-based submission form. This procedure will provide you with an alternate means of demonstrating that you have done the required work, and it will allow you to retain a copy of your assignment answers for your personal records (since for these assignments, you will get no written feedback -- only discussion feedback in class).
