Keep an eye on your email for comments on your letters from me or my assistant Sally.

•  Promptly address comments. If you wait more than a day to resolve a comment you will be marked down.

•  Once you have adequately addressed a comment click "resolve".

•  If you disagree with a comment, click on the comment and a reply box will appear below. Explain your disagreement and then click “reply”.

•  Once your comments have all been resolved. I (or Sally) will reread your letter. If we feel your letter still needs work we will write more comments and we repeat this process.

•  When I (or Sally) feel your letter is done we will comment "Ready to print". This means you are done. You will print your letter and bring it to class on MONDAY.

New buddy work for problem 2 will be uploaded in our google drive under the folder Jewel Problem /ACES Work sometime Friday evening.

Sally or I will now be looking at your final drafts and perhaps add more comments. Ideally they will be ready and you will get a "ready to print" comment.

•  If you do get and additional comment, promptly address comments. If you wait more than a day to resolve a comment you will be marked down.

•  Once you have adequately addressed a comment click "resolve".

•  If you disagree with a comment, click on the comment and a reply box will appear below. Explain your disagreement and then click “reply”.

Note: Please do not "resolve" the "Ready to Print" comments. That way if Sally and I go look at a letter we can tell right away if the other has already approved it.

If you do not get comments right away, please be patient – we have over 30 to do.
