This class is going to use a lot of technology to make it easier for you to participate, and hopefully help you become a better writer.
In this course, I will frequently require you to POST your homework assignments directly to this website. All posted material can be read by anyone, anywhere, at any time, so you should do your best to present yourself in a professional manner. This is your work and reputation we are talking about.
The process for doing this should be fairly uncomplicated. If you follow these guidelines, you should not have any trouble.
Write your assignment as you normally would in a word-processing program, such as Microsoft WORD. Next, SAVE THE DOCUMENT as you normally would. The reason we do this is because, should you try to write it directly on the website, you could become disconnected from the internet while you are typing. This would result in you losing all of your hard work. Consider yourself warned.
Copy and paste your writing into the COMMENTS BOX at the bottom of the Syllabus’ page for the class you are working on. Include the required identifying information at the top of the form.
Click on the submit comments button. That’s it! You’re done.
Your writing may not show up on the web page right away, as it will be sent to me for moderation first (basically to protect each of you from spam).
If you have problems, it is always okay for you to simply e-mail me your homework at crowleya@fc.husson.edu. However, over the course of this semester I do expect you to become proficient in posting to the blog, as you will have to do a lot of this in your professional life. We should all be able to do this by the end of week two.
We will also be using a lot of YouTube videos in this course this semester. You need a high-speed internet connection to watch these. If you do not have one at home, that is okay. We have them here on campus in the computer clusters. I’ll explain to you how you are to use these.
