date (details on TED). Respond to each question thoroughly yet succinctly. It should not exceed one and a half
pages, single-spaced. This needs to be turned in by 10pm on April 26 through Turn It In on TED. Any
assignment not submitted by 10pm on TED will receive a maximum of 50%. Any assignment submitted more than
24 hours late will receive a 0. Your response should not exceed one page, single-spaced. Make sure to put your
name and section on the top of the page. When submitting your assignments on Turn It In, you will receive an
emailed receipt. If you do not receive this, it means your assignment was not correctly submitted and you will
receive a zero. There is no “proof” of completion other than the receipt. There will be an announcement posted on
TED when grades are posted. You have one week to contact us if you do not see your grade. After that, posted
grades are final (even if it is a zero).
