Current assignments may be on the first through third pages. Ignore the black dates above the posts. Scan posts for work with dates close to now (dates WITHIN the posts). The posts are in no particular order, so scroll through the first three pages. Keep copies of all your files on your laptop and in your binder. If I collect an assignment, not having a printed version will result in a grade of zero. Assignments could be collected at ANY time.
