Keep a copy of every assignment submitted to avoid having to redo your work if an assignment should be lost in the mail. Back up your computer work to avoid losing files should you have computer problems. Deliver the assignment directly to the address and at the time specified by your instructor if you're submitting your work in person. Be sure to include the proper postage if you're submitting your project via the postal service. Be sure your work is dark and highly legible if you're submitting assignments by fax.
Faxes are often difficult to read.
Use the software program specified by your instructor if you're submitting an assignment electronically. For example, if your instructor uses Microsoft Word 97, don't send your project in a Microsoft Word 95 format. Your instructor may not be able to read the file. Keep in mind that if you plan on including your assignment in the body of your email message, remember that you can only send text. Equations, graphics, and special characters will not normally be preserved in transmission.
