Assignment Tool Watch the date and time you are given All times are local (Eastern Standard) READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
Assignment Tool Do you type in the text box or upload an attachment? If you cannot upload an attachment, you missed the “Run” Java command. Log out of Blackboard (don’t just close, LOG OUT) and then come back into your course; watch for the “Run” option.
Discussions are where you interact with other members of the class Play nice!
Discussions Read, reply, comment Play nice!
