decides to give it as an assignment.

Submission requirement upon sending the accomplished exercise will send to the google
classroom. The given exercise will answer in a short bond paper, handwritten including the
necessary information such as name, section, date and exercise number. It will be scanned and
send in pdf format with the file format details Year and Section_Exercise
Number_Surname_Nickname. Ex. 1A_Exercise1_DelaCruz_John. 8. All communications
