First of all, be sure to review the Discussion Board
forumàLecture Notes and the Ask
the Instructor thread (for that week) PRIOR to posting your DB
assignment in case I have posted help, reminders, or answers to your
classmates' questions about the assignment.
Secondly, please remember that you MUST CREATE
your work in a WORD document first and then paste the work content into
the message window of the Discussion Board forum for the assignment. However, you CAN ALSO attach your saved version of the
assignment into the message window as well so that if there are formatting
issues when you submit the initial post, your classmates (and I) can open that
attachment to see if you understand how to format properly.
Editing and
Deleting
Students have asked questions regarding editing and deleting
options in the Discussion Board forum.
In answer to these questions...no, editing and deleting are not
available for students in the Discussion Board forum since Liberty wants all
work submitted to DB forums to be permanent submissions for posterity and
class review. Therefore, once it is in the forum, it must stay.
As I am sure you can understand, Liberty, as well as your
classmates, want you to create your assignments based on your own thoughts,
readings, and merits.
If you submit work without following all directions, or if you
were able to see other students' posted work prior to posting your
own, you would not be showing your ability to follow directions,
internalize reading content, and create a logical argument on your own accord.
Therefore, while you cannot edit or delete your initial
post, if you have already
made a submission to the Discussion Board forum and do not wish for it to count
as your initial post (for grading), you can choose from the options on the
next few pages.
Click REPLY on
your initial post and let the class know to ignore the first post.
You will then…
·
create your work according to the assignment
directions,
·
go into the Week 1 DB forum,
·
find your initial post,
·
click REPLY, and
·
post the content that you DO want your classmates
to respond to--and for me to review for a score.
Please remember to read all assignment directions prior to
development and submission.
If you are needing to edit or delete your post because the formatting
did not transfer when you copied from your WORD document and pasted it into the
discussion board window, follow the directions below.
Click REPLY on
your initial post and let the class know that the formatting
did not show up correctly.
You will then…
·
Make sure that your assignment is saved properly
in a WORD document to your computer.
·
Go into the Week 1 DB forum,
·
Find your initial post,
·
Click REPLY, and
·
Write up a quick note to let your classmates know
that you are submitting an attachment that shows the correct formatting for
your assignment, the citations, and the references section of the work.
·
Attach the correct document to the REPLY post.
·
Submit the message.
