WEEKLY COURSE SCHEDULE:  Week 10 


As you complete Paper 2, you'll need to turn your papers into turnitin.com this week. 

Mornings: The class password is necklace and the ID# is 2016057.

Afternoons: The class password is diamond and the ID# is 2016059.

Directions on how to use turnitin.com are available on our website, as well as a link to get you to the website.  I'd suggest you print the directions, write the class ID# and password on them, write down your own email and password on them (and label which is which), and then keep them in your 1A binder.  Most people have problems with turnitin.com for failure to write these things down.
