Written Assignment 3: Due 2/22/05 (Tuesday ) or Jan. 14, Lunar Calendar!

 

General instructions:

 

For those in my classes last semester, the format remains the same.  You should type your homework using either Njstar or Word (There are files online to help you use Njstar.  Let me know if you need help).  But you are welcome to hand-write the draft and then submit the typed revised version. 

 

Unless absolutely necessary, please do not email your homework to me, especially if it is due to tardiness.  I get about a few hundred emails everyday and most of it is junk, so it is easy for your homework to be deleted by mistake.

 

To get characters having the umlauted u sound (with two dots on top of u), you double the u in Njstar or use v in Word.  

 

Be sure to proof-read and eliminate character mistakes, especially those homophones.
