This document provides instructions for submitting homework assignments through Blackboard. It explains that students can access their Blackboard courses through My BGSU and click on the desired class. It then describes how to navigate to the digital drop box tool and upload files to submit assignments. Students are instructed to name files with their name, add files or browse to select files, and click submit to turn in their work.

account you simply click on the course that you

all be listed in My Blackboard Courses.

when you click on your
class in My Blackboard.

arrange the course shells
differently.
