Google Docs: Set-Up
In this course, we will use Google Docs.
 * All papers MUST be submitted via Google Docs (shareable link), unless otherwise specified.
 * All students have a Google Drive account. (Your Scarlet Email is Google Mail (Gmail)
 * You can use Scarletmail or you own personal Gmail account for the class.
 * Students will be asked to give their preferred email address on a Google Sheet - and a link will be sent to access the Course Folder
 * Students can create a document in Google Drive directly OR upload a Microsoft Word (*.doc / *.docx) to Google Drive.

Google Docs: Naming Convention

 * Documents MUST be named this way: FIRST NAME, FIRST LETTER OF LAST NAME Assignment Name. (For example, RANDYF Resume and Cover Letter).
 * Assignment names include: Resume and Cover Letter; Midterm Paper; Oral Presentation; Final Paper

Google Docs: Sharing with Your Instructor

 * Sharing in Google always involves using a URL / hyperlink. The file stays in the owner's (student's) Drive.
 * Student 'shares' his / her files with the instructor with a shareable URL / hyperlink.
 * Student invites the instructor to Comment on the document by Selecting the file in Google Docs; Right-Clicking and Select Share.
 * A Dialogue box will appear with the following information: "Anyone with the link can view".
 * Change this to "ANYONE WITH THE LINK CAN EDIT"
 * Under "PEOPLE" - type Instructor's Gmail Address randyfishercan AT gmail.com
 * Be sure to click the pencil / drop down menu to: "CAN EDIT"
 * Then "ADD A NOTE" - (this can be Assignment Submitted).
 * Click "DONE".

Google Docs: How Commenting Works

 * Instructor does NOT change the originally submitted file to grade and comment. (It will be saved in a dedicated folder for future reference).
 * Instructor makes a copy of the student's file - and reviews and comments on the file.
 * Instructor emails student to notify him / her - via Google Docs - when comments are completed.
 * Student receives the email, and is then invited to comment.
