Tips for Navigating Loud Cloud
How to Contact Your Instructor
There are three ways to contact me.
1. Questions for Instructor - If you have a question, don’t be afraid to ask! Additionally, you'll often find that, if you have a question, chances are someone else in our class also has that question. Here’s a little reminder: If your question is general in nature (like how to post an assignment, what participation looks like, how to find a resource, when an assignment is due, etc.), please post it in the Questions to Instructor Forum. Why? This is like raising your hand in a traditional classroom. I know, it can be scary at first, but chances are, someone else has the same question you do. So you are actually helping out your classmates by posting your question there.
2. Individual Forum - This is where you ask questions that are PERSONAL in nature. Personal = about late/missing assignments, personal problems, etc.
3. Instructor Email - I have an email address that is available for your use in emergencies ([email protected]). Emergencies do NOT include questions about assignments, late work, or how tos. Those questions should be submitted via the forums listed above.

How to Find Out What's Due Each Week
First, the calendar (you can view by day, week, or month). Then, you can view the tasks in the Course > Course Material > Course Content > Tasks - once there, you can organize by date (click the "TO" link). Additionally, check my announcements; at the beginning of each week, I include a list of the items that are due at the end of the week. Finally, you can download the weekly checklist on our course page (navigate to the Courses tab above and select our course, UNV-108).

How to Submit an Assignment
It is CRITICAL that you watch the GCU tutorials featured in our Module 1 materials. For a refresher on how to submit assignments, please review this GCU tutorial: http://lc.gcumedia.com/igc100/submitting-an-assignment-tutorial/submitting-an-assignment-tutorial-v1.1.swf
Turnitin
You may notice a link in some of your assignment dropboxes called Turnitin. This is a tool that checks for plagiarism; additionally, all assignments over 500 words MUST be submitted to Turnitin (in addition to being submitted to the assignment dropbox). Again, please be sure to view the GCU tutorials for more details about this.
