Turning in Your Assignments

File Formats

  • You must submit final drafts of all documents to me in Microsoft Word format (.doc).
  • Comment requires that you upload your file as HTML.
  • If all else fails, use the "Save As" option in your software and choose RTF (Rich Text Format) from the list of options. For help in saving a file as RTF, see this helpful page.
  • If you do not have Word, you can purchase it for about $10 + tax at the UAB Blazer Bookstore, with a student ID. They offer 2 versions of Microsoft Office (which includes Word), depending on which version of Windows you are using (Mac users can also buy Office for Mac at a discount).

Getting It to Me

You have 2 options for getting your assignments to me:

  • sending it as an attachment with your email message. If you need help figuring out how to send an attachment, you may find these instructions helpful.
  • pasting it into the body of your email message. This works fine for drafts but isn't the best solution for final versions of essays where formatting is more important.
  • Please note that even when you post a draft in Comment, you must still send a copy of your work to me as well.
