Submit a link to your journal on Blackboard.

Blackboard isn’t our favourite tool, however, we need to respect the norms of our community. For this reason, presently all of your assessments need to be uploaded through Blackboard.

On Blackboard, pass us a link to your GitHub document on Blackboard for weekly assessments
This journal will count as both your weekly journal entry and your weekly workbook – double credits!

Humanities scholars love footnotes.↩︎
