In general, Dr. Manson likes to minimize the clutter in his already cluttered office, and for that reason, all assignments must be submitted in electronic format. The only exception to this rule is in-class exams that are (for now!) on paper and any other assignments where the instructor specifically asks for non-electronic submission.

Naming convention

For both email subject lines and file names, please use the following naming convention. Files or emails with incomplete names will not be accepted.

Send your submission by email to the instructor. When emailing the assignment:

• Follow the naming convention above for both the subject line and file name
• Use one of the approved formats noted below
• Submit one assignment per email
• Do not write a message about another aspect of the class because I may not immediately open an email with an assignment attached
