The Assignment Tool allows you to:

         I.      View and download assignments created by your instructor,

       II.      Upload (send) assignments you have completed to your instructor

     III.      Determine which assignments you have submitted (sent to your instructor)

NOTE: Assignments may only be submitted once.  You have access to the instructions and files related to an assignment until you actually SUBMIT the assignment.  Once you have submitted an assignment, you cannot access the instructions, download any assignment-related files, nor re-submit it.

1.      Click its filename link.

2.      A new window similar to the one below will appear.

3.      Select a file (click the radio button next to the file name)

4.      Click the "Download" button.
