Sometimes they discuss it, and sometimes they ask each other clarifying questions. This is helpful to me because I do not have to respond to as many confused emails. This is an example of the assignment page. You can see that it is clear which assignment is tonight’s homework and which are past assignments. You’ll notice that a student’s homework for this particular course is still posted on the right hand side of the screen.
