Submit your work to the project 2 submissions box as follows:
1. Self-Evaluation: submit a Word or PDF file. Note: you are not required to write a self-
evaluation, but it is to your benefit to write one.
2. Deliverable 1: Technical Documentation, submit a Word or PDF file.
3. Deliverable 2: Slidecast, submit the URL address. Note: if you wrote a self-evaluation,
post the URL to the top of the document file. If not, post the URL to the comment box in
bblearn. Remember, digital media files are not accepted in this course. Your slidecast
must be on a host site and play without a user needing to download the file.
2. ENGL 317: Summer 2021 2 of 2
4. To avoid a point penalty, verify your submission. Do not rely solely on bblearn’s
confirmation that your work submitted. You need to check that your work submitted
correctly.
This means you need to go back to the drop box after submitting your work and 1) open
your document files, and 2) check that the URL will work by cutting and pasting what
you submitted into a browser.
If you didn't submit all work or if something didn't submit right, submit everything again
because I grade only the last submission.
