For all your written assignments you are required to use a computer. This will facilitate the editing of your texts immensely. Please notice that I will not accept any excuses for the lateness of your written work because of any kind of computer related problems. Written assignments can be turned in personally, at my office or via e-mail. Make sure your assignments reach me in time.
