Homework
Please remember to put your full name on the top of your homework page, and name the assignment LING 160 Assignment #2.
If you are having to email me your assignment, please put this in the subject line – your 2 initials in capitals/upper case font, the number of the course, and the number of the assignment.
My own subject line would look like this … SH 160 A#2.
Please send your homework to salish@island.net as well as hlacoord@sfu.ca. I have found that students’ work has sometimes not gotten forwarded to me from the hlacoord address and I don’t want your assignments to be missed or unmarked because I didn’t receive them in a timely way. Hay ch q’u.
