Deliverables

There are many important steps to successfully completing this course, and there are five products you will produce-

  • 2 Short Essays- 900-1100 words
  • 2 Long Essays- 1000- 1300 words
  • 1 Porfolio- One short essay and one long essay. The essays MUST be ones that have been submited for peer review AND evaluated by me, your instructor. These should be your best work, free from errors and showing your ability to analyze a topic, research a subject, and correctly cite sources.

Late Work-

Late work will not be accepted. You know the deadlines for each step, be sure to plan enough time to finish long before the deadline. If you submit something early and want to change it before the deadline that is entirely acceptable. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO SUBMIT A PAPER. Computer networks go down, the Internet may be slow, your hard drive might freeze up. Make copies of your papers in several places and submit early!

Projects-

This week's project will be in this space for ONE week. Then it will be archived. You can still review it if you need to, but it will not be the assignment you reach through the menu tab.

After watching the video-
