TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13

BEFORE submitting step-by-step (SBS) and Project assignments, please check the PROOF book to ensure your documents look as they should. Once assignments are submitted for grading, you CANNOT go back and re-do them!

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1

Submissions: There are now two assignment links for uploads for each lesson--one for documents (SBSs and Projects) and one for vocabulary. All documents (SBSs and Projects) must be submitted at the same time. Multiple submissions make it difficult for me to download and score your work. Vocabulary is still typed in the text entry box please.

If you are not able to finish the entire lesson on its due date, submit what you have. You will then have the next remediation period to go back and fill in any missing assignments. The first remediation period after the due date is your final opportunity to submit work for the lesson. No submissions will be accepted after the remediation period has ended.

If you have an extended absence and owe more than one day's work, see me for an appropriate due date.

MONDAY, JANUARY 29

Submissions

Upload step-by-steps and projects along with vocabulary; some completed vocabulary were submitted with no documents; vocab should be the last task in the lesson.

Do not “attach” documents; upload them.

On due date, all of the current lesson is uploaded whether complete or not; you can complete during remediation.

Make sure you submit through the appropriate assignment link; for example, Student Information Sheets should not be submitted in Lesson 1 Assignments.

You will be permitted to re-do and resubmit Lesson 1 Assignments on Monday, January 29; however, going forward, you need to make sure assignments are done well the first time. I cannot grade everything twice. If you have any questions, ask before you finalize your documents.

When creating documents, be sure to use the proper template. Many of you did not use the “Single Space” blank document for the Lesson 1 project, as instructed; therefore, your spacing is not correct. If a template does not appear in your options when you hit File-New, search for it in the search bar.

Vocabulary

No credit if not in your own words. You should NOT be looking up definitions on the Internet; if you need to refer to the textbook definition before describing, you may, but you must define in your own words.

Definitions should relate to Word

Example: tabs are not “small flaps or strips of material attached to or projecting from something, used to hold or manipulate it, or for identification and information.”

If you do not score at least 80% on all assignments, you may NOT work ahead.

Components of Letters: Addressee Block (name, street address, city, state, and zip of person receiving the communication); Salutation (greeting), Complimentary Closing (courteous end to message).

Grading

I will leave detailed notes in Canvas if I deduct any points from your assignments.

I use some abbreviations: “sb” means “should be”; “snb” means “should not be”; “ltr” means “letter”; I will add more as I use them.

Going forward, every detail will not be related; for example, I may say “two typos” but will not tell you which words are misspelled. Word will underscore anything misspelled, so it should be easy to spot on your end.
