Exercises are to be submitted by 12 midnight EDT each Sunday. They should be formatted as follows:

Title your email: Mastronarde Unit 'N' Exercises" where N is the unit number (from 1 to 12)
* Start the submission with BEGIN#.
* Give first the section no: EX01, EX02, EX03 etc.
* 2nd: give the question number: 01, 02, 03, etc
* 3rd: give your initials (3 letters please. Use X for the middle initial if you do not have/use one)
* 4th: Give your answer
* End the email with END#

An example might look like this (with thanks to Paul Baronowsky):

BEGIN#
EX01 01 PEB ἀνέμου Acute on accented P; P cannot take circumflex, because U is long (and, in addition, P is short). 8a (and 6b).
EX01 02 PEB ψῆφος Circumflex on accented P, because P is long and U is short. 8b.
END#

To anatomise:
BEGIN#:tells the collation software this is where the submission starts
EX01: identifies the exercise in the unit. The leading zero is important
01: identifies the question
PEB: the three initials of the student's name, If you have only two initials, please use an X as a fake middle initial. If you have so well-bred to have more than three, please trim them till you have three.
ἀνέμου...:the answer
END#:tells the software the submission is ending.

Please number exercises thus: EX01. I foolishly set things up so the collate application needs to see the zero. This was unnecessary, as there are never more than nine exercises in a unit, but it will save me editing time if you can use this format.
