  1. Hi Professor:
    I recall you saying that we will discuss turnitin in the next class (tomorrow), but in the instructions it says it has to be submitted before class tomorrow. I was wondering if we ARE submitting it before class or if we are waiting for you to discuss it tomorrow and then we will have still submit it tomorrow.

    1. If you can submit to turnitin.com before Tuesday's class, all the better. This assignment is a little different than the previous one, so you won't be penalized if your essay isn't uploaded before class, but it must be uploaded as soon as possible after.

POSTING GUIDELINES

Stay on topic. Your comment should engage with original post or respond to a previous comment

Provide evidence to support your point. Debate/conversation is encouraged, but if you wish to present a convincing argument you will have to support your claim. Make sure that the information you present can be verified and if you refer to an online source provide the link.

Use reputable sources. There is a lot of information available on the internet, but not all of it is trustworthy. Be certain that you can identify the author/creator, whether or not it is a commercial site, the bias of the site and/or its sponsors for any links you provide. Posts that contain links to or information from disreputable sources will be deleted and will not satisfy the assignment requirements.

Use your own words. If you wish to refer to an outside source, provide a link or citation information. Using someone else’s words as your own, or reposting material without identifying the original source/creator constitutes plagiarism.
