Communication
From the Discussion feature within our D2L web site, you
will be able to share completed drafts or portions of drafts with me, the whole
class, or your peer group via attachments. This is one of the most beneficial aspects of our
course because it will facilitate the feedback process and aid immensely with
revision and editing. You are required to share a completed draft with your peer
group on the assigned dates on the schedule and to
follow the procedures as spelled out in our Portfolio e-book and in
" Requirements & Guidelines," but you
may use the attachment option as many times as you wish in
order to refine your essay.
As part of the course requirements, you should check your D2L e-mail first thing
each day to see if any comments have been left about your writing or if a peer
has requested some feedback from you. A word of caution about the use of email
and/or Discussion Boards--remember this is an academic setting, and all users must conduct
themselves accordingly. Any breach in polite or acceptable communication will
result in lost privileges and jeopardize course completion. Remember also to be
aware of your intended recipients; you may send drafts/feedback/general messages
to one individual, your peer group of 2-3 classmates, or the entire class.
