In Assignment 1, we ask you to choose one of three topic choices listed below on the subject of diversity then use the Writing Guide located in Blackboard to write a brief paper on the subject. Each t
HIS105--HOW TO SUBMIT THE FIRST PAPER (Assignment 1 in Week 3):
Anytime you use Blackboard, be sure you are using the CHROME browser or the FIREFOX browser. (do not use Internet Explorer, Edge, Safari, etc---they simply encounter too many problems in Blackboard). Now—to submit the paper---
In the Week 3 unit: Scroll down and find the large blue heading/link Assignment 1: Different Approaches to Diversity Issues (1865-1925). (Under it are little links to documents and a video--be sure you use those in doing your paper). Do your paper on a Word document—saved with a .doc or .docx or with an .rtf file extension. (Do NOT submit it as a .pdf file, google docs, Apple pages, or as NotePad.) Give your final draft a distinctive file name. If using google.docs, learn how to “save as” or ”download” to your computer as a Word file. If using OneDrive, probably best also to save it to your PC in a folder where you can easily find it. ALSO—don’t submit separate files—just submit one file; the title page, the body of paper, and the sources list at end—these should all be on one document.
Once you have your paper on a single Word document--and have it polished and ready to submit--and have the file named the way you want and saved in a folder you know on your computer----THEN---
1. Click on that large blue link Assignment 1: Different Approaches to Diversity Issues (1865-1925) in the Week 3 unit.
2. This takes you to a new page that at the top says "Assignment 1 Submission"--it is a link; click on those three words.
3. This takes you to a new page that says ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION near the top. Once there, scroll all the way down. Near the bottom of the page you will see a tab--a tool--called "Browse My Computer"--click on that and use it to find your paper on your computer--and upload/attach it. (There is no need to type anything in the "Add Comments" area--just leave that blank). Once you upload it--then click "Submit" on the lower right of the web page. That should submit your paper.
4. Your Blackboard gradebook will flash some sort of color or symbol showing you have submitted.
-------------------------------------
NOTE—submitting a revised paper—or perhaps you submitted the wrong paper on your first try: If you need, for any reason, to submit the paper (or some revision/replacement of it) again, the system allows you to do so. To do that:
a) Start over in the Week 3 unit. Again, do steps 1 and 2 above.
b) After doing step 2, you will see your earlier submission on the screen. On the middle area of the RIGHT SIDE of the screen, you will see a tab named “Start New”. Click “Start New”.
c) Now---this takes you to a screen to submit again. Do Step 3 above again—as you did before—upload your new file and click “Submit”. That submits your new/revised paper. You will see your new submission.
d) Note: The instructor will see all submissions—your most recent one and your earlier ones. In general, an instructor grades the most recent submission. It depends on situation, permissions, deadlines, etc. ---------------------------
