We use Blackboard for:



Turning in assignments
Showing you your grade on assignments
Information about how the grading was done

The “announcements” page, which will tell what points were taken off
for what things, is not specific to you
Turning in assignments

When you turn in an assignment via Blackboard, Blackboard
wants it to be one single file


The first assignment is a single file, so nothing special needs to be done
Most assignments will consist of multiple files, so you need to
put them into a single zip file, and turn that in

Put all your files in a directory named
LastName_FirstInitial_ProjectName







Example: Smith_J_Portrait
Use Portrait as the name of the first assignment
Zip up the directory
Submit via Blackboard
I will give you the ProjectName to use for each assignment
If your first name is hyphenated, e.g. Jean-Luc Picard, use the
form Picard_JL_Portrait
Only Blackboard submissions will be graded
