NOTE ON WRITTEN WORK (from our Syllabus):

Written work should be unified and coherent; it must use standard language, spelling, and punctuation. Use a word processing program for your assignments so you can revise and proofread them; then copy and paste into the appropriate D2L box.

Discussion entries should follow the individual directions for each of the 7 discussions, referring specifically to details of the material to be discussed, (film, book, financial presentation), using specific examples to support opinions, referring as appropriate to matters brought up by other discussion contributors.

All written assignments done outside class except for the My Freshman Experience project must be submitted on the D2L course site by the due date/time. The D2L system will not accept late work.
