Each web-based homework assignment resembles the paper test which you will take the following week, and is designed to give practice for that paper test, but will also contribute to your grade on that paper test.
If a web-based homework assignment is submitted more than once, only the highest score before the deadline will affect your semester grade, as described in the table below. Web-based homework assignments must be submitted by 11:59 PM of Sunday before the corresponding paper test, using the submit button at the bottom of the quiz: this deadline is strict (15 minutes late will void any grade credit). If your PC or internet connection is unreliable, leave time to find another device, such as in a McGraw Hall computer lab.

Examples
- You earn 90% on homework assignment #1 by the deadline, and get 6 (out of 10) points on paper test #1 the following week. Your paper test #1 grade will then be increased to 6 + 2 = 8 points (out of 12).
- You earn 90% on homework assignment #2 by the deadline, and get 36 (out of 45) points on paper test #2 the following week. Your paper test #2 grade will then be increased to 36 + 4 = 40 points (out of 49).
- You earn 60% on homework assignment #3 by the deadline, and get 8 (out of 10) points on paper test #3 the following week. Your paper test #3 grade will then remain at 8 points (out of 12). You must earn a grade of at least 80% on a homework assignment to earn points toward your semester grade.
- You earn 90% on homework assignment #4 ten minutes before the deadline, and print that result out, but your PC crashes before you press the SUBMIT button on the homework assignment. You reboot your PC and submit the homework assignment thirty minutes late. You then get 40 (out of 45) points on paper test #4 the following week. Your paper test #4 grade will then remain 40 points (out of 49). To receive grade benefit from a homework assignment, it must be submitted by the deadline. If your PC or internet connection are unreliable, leave time to use a McGraw lab on campus.
- You earn 80% on homework assignment #5 and submit this one minute before the deadline. You then re-think your wrong answers and re-submit this quiz with 90% correct answers, but do so ten minutes after the deadline. The following week, you get 7 (out of 10) points on paper test #5. Your paper test #5 grade will then be increased to 7 + 1 = 8 points (out of 12), reflecting only homework assignment results submitted before the deadline.
