Update

See note at the end of the post.

Most students were able to successfully upload their term papers to the myItLab. Unfortunately, since I have to read and grade each exam individually by hand, this means that I cannot promise to have all of the term papers graded by next class.

Term paper - final reminder

Term papers are due by 8:00 Tuesday morning. You must upload your single Word file to the dropbox in your myItLab account.
