Student Submission Links

Work submissions will occur electronically. This post from Prof. Strong's associated blog talks about the first submission and links to this old, old blog post about tools that students can use to make digital records of their work.

A note about due dates: Your instructors understand that you are involved with many other courses outside of MATH224. As such, you should consider most due dates as soft deadlines. If you are in the middle of time critical work for another class that cannot wait then please do not stress. The submission site will be open and ready to receive your work if things run long. That said, please do not fall behind. If you feel like you are falling behind then please talk to your instructor ASAP.

• Test Submission Form - Due Aug. 31st by 11:59pm
• Conics and Quadric Surfaces Submission form - Due by Sept. 9th by 11:59pm: Note: Please read the form completely and carefully before filling anything out.
