General instructions that you must follow for handing in your work

Homework will need to be emailed by 11:59pm on the due date unless you need to turn in diagrams, in which case you have the option of turning in at the beginning of the class indicated, e.g., Wednesday instead of Tuesday evening.

The format and labeling of your emailed homework must be in a standard form: The Subject line should begin in the standard required way, with "csu430", or else it will be returned, unread. For homework, this must be followed on the subject line with "Homework n" where n is the appropriate homework number. You may put additional information on subject line after this, as you like.

You must attach only one single file in your email, either a single stand-alone file such as text (preferred) or MS Word, or a link to a Google Doc that has the proper permissions for Prof. Futrelle and the TA, Mr. Zhao (please, no LaTeX, OpenOffice, etc.) If you do have more than one file to send they must be zipped, tarred, or jarred into a single file. Never attach multiple files. Finally, your file or zip file must be given a meaningful name, which would be the course name, your name, and the the homework, e.g.,
"AllanJonesCSU430F07Homework3.pdf" - all of these three. The worst name you could choose, and some students have done this (!) would be "homework" or "homework 3". Futrelle has over one million files on his MacBook, including thousands of student files handed in over the last ten or more years. He can't try to keep track of files with incomplete, nonspecific names. If your subject line or file name is deficient, your mail will simply be returned, replied to with this note pasted into it.

Where to send your email: You must send your mail to both Professor Futrelle at futrelle@ccs.neu.edu and the TA, Mr. Zhao: linzhao at the domain: ccs.neu.edu. If you are sharing Google Docs that you would like us to have edit access to, you would need to use one of my Gmail addresses, specifically, bob.futrelle@gmail.com. (Send Mr. Zhao a link also.) You may also put your homework together as a web page(s), though we strongly prefer that you hand us hardcopies of your site too, something we can write grading comments on.
