How to complete assignments in the Zybook

First, do the corresponding reading for the assignment. Don't just skip to the exercises. Note that some sections of the book are marked as optional and will not have exercises assigned from them.

Zybook assignments will often have you completing both "Participation" (P) and "Challenge" (C) exercises. If an assignment specifies P&C, you need to complete both types of exercises. Sometimes I will specify only one type or the other.

Every assignment has a due date and time. You should complete all of the exercises specified by the due date.

For example, if an assignment asked for Zybook P&C 1.2-1.6, 1.11, and 2.1-2.4, this means you should complete both the participation and challenge exercises for sections 1.2 through 1.6, and section 1.11, and sections 2.1 through 2.4.
