All students will create a free SCRIBD account - this is where you will post your papers as a PDF then link to them from your web site. It also serves as a backup for you should you lose your work - you can download your complete paper as a PDF http://www.scribd.com/
Turn in your username and password to the lab assistant in order to receive credit for the assignment.
Create your SCRIBD account - write down your username and password. All Projects, and Exercises should be uploaded to your account - The link to your SCRIBD account will be posted in Blackboard and on our class Facebook page so that you can read, peer review and critique each others work. (Peer reviews will also count as a grade - see your syllabus for specific details.)
Required Peer review of Projects and Exercises - Each student is required to post a substantial comment on two fellow students projects and exercises each week. Resist the temptation to be quick and sloppy–as when some write using all lower case or when writers never bother to correct typos. Avoid “colloquial” language like, “Yo dudes, how yall doen?” Substantive means to share a serious, thoughtful, reflective comment or question, or it is a means to educate us about something you have read.
Note also that no more than one entry per week is allowed and that no entries may be made during the last two weeks of the semester. Your instructor reads every entry but may not comment on all.
I am making a promise this semester to go absolutely paperless! There are a number of reasons why I don't want to use paper: paper is too expensive, most students do not value paper, papers are messy, papers are hard to keep up with, students lose papers, teachers lose papers, papers get dirty, papers rip, papers drop and fall out of order and so on and so on and so on... Those are just a few of the reasons why I don't use paper.
With this in mind all students in SOWK 300 beginning Spring 2010 will be required to get, use and maintain a Scribd account. Scribd is one of those free and amazing Web 2.0 tools that make document sharing as easy as pointing and clicking.
