Accessing the Assignment:

Important Guidelines:

1. Platform Requirement:

   - Complete your homework using Microsoft Office products on a Windows operating system. Avoid using Ubuntu or any Unix-based platforms, as our tool may not read your homework properly, resulting in zero points.

2. Customized Files:

   - Each student's homework file is unique and contains your student ID embedded within it. Do not share your file with others! Sharing will result in both you and the recipient receiving zero points for the assignment.

Steps After Downloading the Assignment File:

1. Unzip the File:

   - Before making any changes, first UNZIP the file to your desired location on your file system.

2. Make Required Changes:

   - Follow the assignment description to make the necessary changes and save the file without changing its name.

3. Save Your Work:

   - Ensure that you save the file after making all the necessary changes. If your file size exceeds 2 MB, it won’t be evaluated by the system. Check your file size before submitting.

4. Upload Instructions:

   - Upload the original Microsoft Word file you downloaded. Do not create a new file, as the downloaded file is unique to your student ID. Uploading a different file will result in zero points.

5. File Format:

   - The system only accepts files with '.doc' or '.docx' extensions. Do not attempt to upload a zip file!

6. Resubmission Option:

   - If needed, you can re-upload your assignment to the system. Your previous submission will be replaced by the new upload.
