(7)Homework dropped in the “homework dropbox” in front of the department door will NOT be collected.
(8)If you want to turn in your homework other than the due day or if you want to turn in your homework outside the classroom, you need to turn in your homework to the instructor either IN PERSON or a scanned copy through email.
(9)You can ask your friend/classmate to turn in homework for you.
(10)You can scan and email the homework before the class ends (9:50am).
(11)Homework must be stapled, instructor or TA will not be responsible for lost loose homework.
(12)Exceptions (late homework will be collected): medical emergence (student and important ones), transportation/traffic emergency, religious holidays/duty, jury duty and military duty. Evidences must be submitted.
