readings are critical to your success with these papers. The
readings are grouped by paper assignment. You should read the textbook
chapters before you begin work on the corresponding
paper.
If you are using an older edition of the textbook, use the
bracketed numbers at the end of each reading assignment to find the
corresponding chapters and sections in the 9th edition.
Details on each paper assignment will be posted on the website a few days before the previous paper is due.
Additional requirements and tips for completing your papers will be posted in messages under the "Lessons" tab in Angel. You should log in to Angel at least once or twice a week to read these messages and other announcements.
To submit a paper, log into Angel and enter the appropriate discussion forum. Click "Add content", add your text to the message box, then click "Post" to send the message. Do not post your paper as a file attachment. Papers are not accepted by email.
Deadline for posting each paper is always midnight of the listed due date.
