All major projects will be turned in via Google Drive.
What you will need:

Also, check that you have enough storage if you currently use Google Photos or Gmail.

4. Create the sub-folders in your ENGL 1180 folder, by clicking on "New" and folder. The sub-folders should be titled:

Paper 2
Paper 3
Final Portfolio
5. Once these are created, they should be visible in your ENGL 1180 folder. If you want, you may create additional folders to keep other class materials or notes in your Google Drive.
Tip
Always double-check that you are working in your ENGL 1180 folder or one of the subfolders for this class. If something is placed in your main Google Drive (and not in one of these folders), I won't be able to see it.
6. Click the small down arrow (1) next to your main ENGL 1180 folder at the top of the page. Then, click "Share" (2).
7. Share that folder with me at: sarah.karlis.mcc@gmail.com. You only need to share this once!!! Once we share this in class, I will be able to access everything you put inside this folder or any of the folders in it.
If you need additional help, ask me before or after class or email me!
Important Note
