Remarks:

1. Do NOT forget your username/password. I can't recover this for you.
2. It is possible to use a different browser or operating system. However, your experience may not be as stable. See the system requirements link on the web site for complete details.
3. You'll have one chance at each problem.
4. You may use any resource you want while doing the problems - notes, texts, calculators, etc. You may work with other students if you wish. Please note - for many problems, the numbers involved are algorithmically generated, so it's unlikely that you'll get exactly the same problem.
5. Should you be disconnected while taking an assignment, you should be able to return and begin where you left off. But this has been known to fail at times.
6. Occasionally (but not often) a server crashes or is shut down for upgrades. Should there be a significant problem that prevents you from taking an assignment, e-mail me and I'll investigate.
7. Do NOT forget your username/password!!!!
