The NET ASSIGNMENTS are worth up to, but no more than, 200 points.
They are organized around the modules, and each module has 2 or 3 chapters.
Each chapter as several net assignments. You obviously cannot do all the
net assignments. But, you should do about one a week so you can earn points
quickly.
Most assignments will be worth 20 points. All will have deadlines. None will
be accepted after the date due (midnight of the due date).
If you do 11 assignments and earn 19 of 20 points on each, that's 209
points. But, because you CANNOT earn more than 200 points, 200 points
is all you get.
But, if you do 25 assignments and earn only 8 points on each (a LOW F),
you would still have 200 points. So, you can actually fail all the assignments
and still "max-out" if you do enough.
WARNING: DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST FEW WEEKS TO DO ASSIGNMENTS: The number
and the points available will decrease. Because the knowledge to do assignments
is generally cummulative, the assignments will be more difficult as the
course progresses. So, do them early.
