Before continuing, verify you are caught up with class participation discussions and MUDs.
To check your progress: in the D2L classlist, choose the circular blue icon next to your name
;
to check your Discussion progress, use the dropdown Tool and select Discussions...choose Apply.
You will need to scroll down to see which discussions you have and have not posted to.
Your participation grade will be penalized at the end of the semester for discussions you have not posted to.
Feel free to copy this to a word document and send it to me... I won't

need a little work.
