Course: How to Turn in Homework

What to turn in?  Where?  and When?

Use Canvas!  You will upload all assignments as .pdf, .docx, .doc, or .txt files (not .jpg, which are awkward and huge) to the ECE 1240 Canvas site on the corresponding Assignment page.  Login to your U of U computer account before trying to turn in assignments (so Canvas knows who you are).  When you are logged in, a Submit button will appear on assignment pages.  You will scan handwritten work with your smartphone with apps like GeniusScan Links to an external site. or ScannerAppPro Links to an external site. that produce .pdf files, or just a camera that produces *.jpg files and an app that converts .jpg to .pdf.  (HW must be turned in in .pdf or .doc or .docx format because .jpg causes difficulties for graders in Canvas; it's a bug.)  Remember to login to Canvas before trying to turn in your assignments.  Also, cellphone submissions have been unreliable in Canvas in the past, so using a computer is recommended.

Unless otherwise specified, turn in Homework in Canvas by Monday (of the week after the homework assignment date shown in the schedule on the Home Page) by 11:59 p.m.  Both the homework assignment statements on Canvas and the Canvas Calendar will show the exact due date for each homework assignment.  (The Home Page schedule shows the date to start on homework.)  If you need a time stamp on when you finished homework and are having difficulty uploading to Canvas, send an email to the instructor with the .pdf file of the homework attached.  If the email is received before the homework due date, a later turn-in may be permitted.  One late submission for computer problems is permitted during the semester.

Turn in Extra Credit online in Canvas.   Due-dates of Extra Credit vary.  Both the extra credit assignment statements on Canvas and the Canvas Calendar will show the exact due date for each extra credit assignment. (The Home Page schedule shows the date to start on extra credit assignments.)

Homework Grading:

Homework should be graded within a week.  Please let the instructor know if grades are delayed.  Grades are posted on Canvas.
