Electronic Assignments - Spring 2012
Notes of
Import
- I have checked and re-checked the
Assignment Submission Page and it is working correctly - when it does, it
is real cool. When the ASP is working you can simply "punch it up" complete
the information as necessary and "click to submit"
- if there is ever a problem with the ASP - all assignments may simply be "wired"
[emailed] to me at
peter_larue@georgetowncollege.edu
- the extent to which you answer each/any of the questions in the
e-assignments - will be reflected in your point tally
