Week 3: Politics and Technology - Historic Timeline and Predecessor Assessment Draft

This is a big week in regard to your Course Project. Please remember to have your Historic Timeline and Predecessor Assessment draft submitted to the Dropbox by the end of the week.  Remember that you must submit your draft to the  Smarthinking  writing tutors (access found in the Course Resources tab) and thus must allow yourself enough time to get their feedback and to make the needed changes prior to submitting your draft to the Dropbox. It takes up to 24 hours from the time you submit your draft to Smarthinking until you receive feedback, so even if you are waiting until the last minute, you should have your draft to  Smarthinking no later than Friday, allowing time to receive your feedback by Saturday and leaving  Sunday for you to make adjustments and then to submit it.
