Crashed how? give me an error message or what actually happened and I will be able to tell you whether your homework is toast or not. More than likely its not but it really depends on what happened.

Its a fucking Dell, of course it crashed.

Sometimes computers back up their hard-drives periodically, so you might be okay.
Otherwise, i really can't help ya!

Put it in a water-tight plastic bag, place in the freezer for 24 hours. Plug it back in, if it works save everything you can very quickly.

Worked for me many many times over the years.
