Submitting Project 1

There are two parts to submitting Project 1:

  • Writing your reflection memo.
    As I explained in the assignment, the reflection memo is your chance to tell me anything you want me to know about your project. I will read your reflection before I read the bios.

  • Sharing your project links.
    For this project, your reflection memo will give me the link(s) to your biography statements on Google Drive and to your About.me profile if you created one.

Writing Your Reflection Memo and Submitting Your Project

Follow these instructions to submit your work:

  1. Go to the Assignments tab on the left menu in Scholar.
  2. Choose “P1: Professional Bio Statement.”
  3. Scroll down to the text box below the headings Submission and Assignment Text. You will write your reflection memo in this box. (Alternately, you can write in a word processor and copy/paste your text into this box.)
  4. Add your memo headers (To, From, Subject, and Date). For your reflection memo, you’ll use the following:
    • Address your memo to me (Traci) and from you (use your name).
    • Add a subject line that indicates this is your reflection memo and which project it is for.
    • Add the current date.
  5. Insert a horizontal divider line under the headers (using the button indicated with the red arrow in the image below):

  6. Introduce your project—what are your overall goals, what grade have you aimed for, and what documents have you written for the project?
  7. For each part of the project you have written (e.g., the formal bio, the informal bio, the About.me profile), do the following:
    1. Label the document so I know whether it is a formal bio, an informal bio, or an About.me profile.
    2. Convert your document(s) to Google Drive format if you worked in another word processor.
    3. For the formal or informal bio, add the Share link to the document on your Google Drive. Use the instructions for how to get the Share link on the FAQ site if you are unsure how to share documents (see the tips below).
    4. Explain who the audience for your statement(s) is. Tell me whatever I need to know to understand the information you have included and the tone you have used.
    5. For the About.me profile, add the link to your public page.
    6. Tell me anything else you want me to know about the bio, including the content, the layout and design, and any images you included.
  8. Review the information for your bio statements. You should have a block for each piece you have written that tells me what it is, gives me the link, and tells me about what you have written.
  9. Add a concluding section that tells me anything else you want me to know about your project.
  10. Agree to the Honor Code by clicking the checkbox at the bottom of the page in Scholar. You cannot finish submitting the project without clicking that checkbox (and it’s easy to miss).
  11. Submit your Project, and save a copy of the confirmation and submission ID. If something goes wrong in Scholar, you can contact 4HELP with that information.
  12. Celebrate! You’ve finished the first project!

Tips on Using Google Drive

The FAQ site has step-by-step instructions for tasks you will complete with your Google Drive, including converting your document if you have worked in another word processor, adding comments, and sharing your documents are all included.

To make sure that you can submit your first project smoothly, pay attention to the following FAQs:

Note that if your documents are in the wrong format or the permissions do not allow me to comment, I will return your work ungraded.
