Homework submission
Just a couple of things that will make grading easier for me:
1) Putting your last name in the filename you send helps a lot, so I don't have to rename everything. For example, "p_leclair_HW1.pdf" is really handy. "leclair_p_HW1.pdf" is even better, since it alphabetizes nicely I look at all the files together.
2) If you know how to do it, combining separate scanned pages/pics into a single file is good, but don't spend too much time figuring it out if you don't know how. I can suggest how to do this on various platforms if you're interested.
3) If you turn in a hard copy, I don't necessarily need a copy of the problem set itself, you can just turn in your work.
4) Include "PH102" in the subject line of the email, and possible HW1 or something like that to help the filtering.
Basically, it costs a little more time if I get 30 emails with a subject like "homework" or "physics homework" and filenames like "homework.docx" or "hw.jpg". I can sort this out very easily, I'm mainly pointing these things out because it probably isn't something you thought about. I wouldn't have either, until I started taking email homework submissions.
These are really just suggestions, I'm happy to deal with any sort of files you send. I can read pretty much any file format you can think of (that is not a challenge, btw), and keep things pretty organized, so it isn't a huge deal. The main point is: if you can save me some seconds per submission, this is nice because I have 68 students between two sections.
Just to reinforce: there haven't been any problems at all so far, even with the cell phone pics (many of you have good phones, it seems), I'm just letting you know what would help if it isn't difficult for you.
Also, thanks for the cat pictures. Nice looking cat.
