One of the choice will always be to write about a current environmental issue. This essay should be substantive, detailed, and focused on the processes we have studied this week. It must include citations from websites or other sources that you used to write the essay. After you write this essay, re-read the original topic. You can still post work any time up to the weekend.
Partial credit is better than none.
Once the week has ended and I sit down to grade the work it is too late for you to get credit. However, I do this anytime from Saturday morning to Monday evening, so you can take a chance any time over the weekend. Everyone has computer problems from time to time, and you won't be penalized if you let me know what is happening. The discussion forums are a major portion of your grade, so you should take care to do good work. Check the original question or assignment after you write your work.
