Submission Policies:

======================
The major assignments (i.e. those identified on the schedule) MUST be submitted electronically (see below) by 6PM on the due date.

Other assignments (such as the memos turned in last week, not identified on the schedule) due "in-class" should be submitted electronically by NOON before that class.

Please PLAN AHEAD for your submission - we are operating a zero-tolerance policy on late work this semester.

Electronic submission
========================
Use the "16.821 Document Locker" website to submit all work.

This page has a link for submission via a web browser and all documents are immediately available on the web.

Filename rules: no spaces; please include your name. Use the "description" entry to make sure others can identify your document.

In case of technical problems with submission, email the instructors list as before.

You can also use submissions to this web page to store and share useful information for the group e.g. designs and memos.
