"POST A COMMENT" ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES

GUIDELINES FOR "POST A COMMENT" ASSIGNMENTS

"Post a Comment" assignments are due by 10:00 PM EDT on Sundays and Tuesdays.

Posts submitted after 10:00 PM EDT will be posted as “late.”

Be sure to include your first name and last initial in the post, or the post will not be approved.

As moderator of the blog, it is 100% at my discretion as to whether or not a submitted comment is "accepted" and posted. If you don't see your post after 24 hours please resubmit it because:

 (1) you submitted information that is already posted and/or

 (2) you did not put your first name and last initial on the post and/or

 (3) your post contains inaccurate information and/or

 (4) the content is inappropriate within the context of the post topic.

Students whose post was not accepted will have 24 hours to repost an acceptable comment, even if that 24 hour period goes beyond the Sunday or Tuesday 10:00 PM EDT deadline.

Students who have signed on to the blog as a "follower" may receive an e-mail regarding their rejected post. However, there is no guarantee that I will have time to provide this "courtesy" e-mail; even so, I will do my best to send the "courtesy" e-mail to those students who "follow" the blog.

It is the student's responsibility to understand and follow these guidelines.

Any questions about the guidelines should be sent to me via e-mail at english102wcc@gmail.com.
