Homework assignments are due in by 5PM on the date assigned. There is a box outside my door in ECJ 8.6 for turning in assignments after the class hour if necessary. Homework must be done on clean paper, must be stapled at the top left corner, and have your name written on the top right corner, and your name, class and assignment number written on the outside when the homework is folded in half.
