Practice Exercises

 

Assignments are to be submitted to Blackboard CE 6.0 and/or myitlab on or before the due date and time.  I suggest that you complete assignments early, allowing time for re-submission due to computer/network problems or exercises that you failed to upload.  If an assignment has been uploaded and graded, re-submission is not possible.  Once an assignment is graded, the link will not be re-set for re-submission.  Late assignments are penalized 20%.
