- DOUBLE NOTE: Assignments are to be done on your own, not with the help of a friend or tutor. If you are having trouble, email me and I will offer the help! If your marks on assignments are dramatically higher than marks on tests, we will have to have a discussion about this.
- TRIPLE NOTE: You should be citing your research in MLA or APA format. Talk to me if you don't know how to do this.
- SUPER NOTE: Submit assignment files as Powerpoint (ppt), PDF or DOC. Do not submit ODF, PAGES, KEYNOTE, or others... I will make you resubmit/reupload if you do. This is due to what filetypes Moodle can actually interpret
