If you are having problems viewing the assignments pasted to the links here are some recomended free software.
Word Processing and Presentation
If you are having problems viewing or do not own Microsoft Office I recommend OpenOffice as a free alternative. OpenOffice is a free productivity suite that allows the open and save as Microsoft Word and Powerpoint files.
PDF Files
Some of the assingments use PDF format and I recommend opening them in either AdobePDF or FoxitPDF.
