These homework problems are to be solved using MathXpert, and submitted one problem at a time as you work them, using the Submit button you see when you finish the problem. The due time is midnight on the due date. Late problems are also accepted, but it takes two late problems to count the same as one on-time problem.
Normally you can expect the due dates to be three to five days after the relevant lecture, and you can expect two or three due dates per week. The intention here is to help you maintain a steady workflow, rather than working for several hours late Sunday night, for example. Calculus is difficult, and you should plan on working constantly throughout the semester.
Reminder: one time only, you need to go to the Options menu of MathXpert and choose Turn On WebGrades. Only then will you see the Submit as Homework button when you finish working a problem. (If you use more than one computer you'll need to do it on each computer, one time only.)
