Question: Using the digital drop box.

Answer:

NOTE: Many courses do not use the digital drop-box. Only submit assignments using the digital drop-box if you are given that option by your instructor.

Overview

The Digital Drop-box page allows students to exchange files with the instructor. Please note that a file added to the Drop Box will not appear to the instructor until it has been sent. Once a file has been sent to the instructor, it cannot be removed from the Drop Box.
