Welcome to Computer Applications

Please do not turn in assignments ahead of time. You can do them ahead of time (except quizzes), but don't send them to me until the week they are due (this message brought to you by Adam Villalobos).

Tip: If you are just emailing answers (text) to me, you don't need to send an attachment. Simply type the answers in the body of your email.

If you require help during an assignment (and you have read the assignment thoroughly) - you can request help by emailing the instructor at rhp@denovodental.com and use the subject line RHP Help. If the instructor is available, an email reply will be sent within 10 minutes or so.
