Overview
Instructions
First review the general instructions in the page. Once you choose which question you'd like to write about, write your essay and save it as a Word document. Submit it to Turnitin, before posting (copy and paste) it in the discussion board.
- To create your post, click the Reply button. Do not attach the word document. Copy and paste the essay into the text box. To be able to read and respond to others' posts, you will first need to Post your own reply. Your first post is the one that will be graded--a blank post WILL be graded if it is your first post in the board.
- After you Post your Reply, refresh the screen to view everyone's posts.
- Finally, read your classmates' posts. A complete assignment includes your written response to at least one essay besides your own--part of your score is based on your reply to at least one of your classmate's posts. It should be a meaningful reply that continues the discussion, points out something good about the post, and makes a constructive suggestion for improvement.
