A student submitting an essay should: • work entirely on the same Google Doc • give me editing access to the Doc • turn in the link to the Google Doc through the Jupiter slot This is a straightforward process that we have practiced and completed for other assignments in the first quarter. At this point, if I receive from you a pdf or if I have to request access to your document, I will have to deduct half a letter grade once I can finally grade the essay. Comments are closed.
