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.

ReplyDeleteMs. Mcarthur once again I have to admit that you do have a way with computers and the internet. Yes I think this website will be very helpful to me,especially the backup part.
ReplyDeleteI forget to add the link to blackboard but it an facebook. This website should be very helpful.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was not challenging at all. I know this will be helpful especially for upcoming assignments. I am also appreciatve of the fact that we will not have to use paper to turn in our work. It saves money and best of all it saves trees.
ReplyDeleteThe assignment was super easy. Not only can I sign in to Scribd with my Facebook account, I don't have to remember anymore usernames & passwords!
ReplyDeletethis assignment was straight to the point. I don't know if I realy care for it being connected to facebook though.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was really easy. I liked the way it signed me in automatically through Facebook.
ReplyDeleteDone. It was easy to do and everything but I'm just a bit put off by the fact we have to keep giving you our passwords for everything.

ReplyDeleteThe website seems like it will be very helpful for us students and the assignment was easy and straight forward
ReplyDeleteWill utilize this site in the future
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was easy. However I'm not sure exactly how I feel about the connection to my Facebook account. But the usefulness will probably out-weight that factor in time.
ReplyDeletelike the site and will use to backup documents.
ReplyDeleteFYI - as I posted an announcement in facebook - I do not actually enter any of your sites with your password or usernames - what I encourage each of your to do is after you have your grade - you can change your password to whatever you wish. Make sure that you write down your passwords and usernames - it would be a good idea to place them in your notebook or somewhere safe.
ReplyDeleteThis site was interesting I think I might use it just to read some books that are on there in the future.
ReplyDeleteI will have to second what Krystal mention above. It just seem like there was something else that needed to be done. But the assignment wasnt challenging at all.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was simple. I like that I was able to login using my facebook account.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was very simple. Im curious to how this website will be effective in my school work.
ReplyDeleteSeemed pretty easy, I however did not login through facebook because I am not comfortable giving anyone the password to my facebook nor do i feel like changing it since have had that same password since I signed up for facebook in 2005. Keeping up with all these accounts and passwords and becoming familiar with these sites seems like its going to one of the most challenging things in this course.
ReplyDeletevery easy assignment and simple directions
ReplyDeleteGreat assignment, I honestly feel this will be of great use to me both now and threw my future endeavors thank you for the opportunity to explore! Ms McArthur
ReplyDeletethis was a very straight forward and easy assignment. I've never used scibd before but we'll see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteNow not only do we have google docs, but we have scribd! This even serves a different function than google docs- the public can view our assignments.
