The deadline for responses is 3:00 PM on Thursday, September 29th, 2011. By 5 PM on the same day I will post all acceptable responses. After 5, it is up to you to go online to ensure that your response is posted; if it is not, let me know on Friday. Otherwise, I will assume there are no problems. Therefore, claiming you posted but had a problem with the technology will not be an excuse.

There will be no late penalties. If you miss the deadline, you will get a 0.

Think about the discussion we had on Tuesday. I will be looking for focus, structure, clarity and grammar/mechanics. With such a short format, remember to use words wisely and avoid "excess verbiage."
