Thanks for the replies, everyone. :)
akirashinigami, thank you for the template. I have sent a message using that
as a base (but modified to more perfectly fit my situation, of course) to my
professor, and I am now waiting for the response.

That sounds like a brilliant suggestion. I still have live DVDs for a few
recent versions of Linux Mint, too, so they'll work perfectly for that.
> Wow, students have to pay to have their homework graded? That's outrageous!
Correction: students have to pay to /do/ the problems. Specifically,
WebAssign requires each student to open an account and pay a fee of IIRC $75
each term. From what I've read, it's especially devious because teachers
don't have to pay anything at all. But in terms of cost, it really isn't much
different from the more regular practice of barely changing a textbook every
year just enough so that you need to buy the latest one to do the homework
problems, paying $100 for a new book instead of $20 for a used book.
> You can try the latest development version (0.8.11).
I have 0.8.10, and it doesn't look like much has changed with the latest
version (not better compatibility, anyway).
