Formats and names and organizing, oh my!

Google Docs has its own special set of concerns when you use it to complete an assignment.

• If you download your document as a file and submit that file individually, no worries – you just treat it like any other file.
• However, some instructors will allow you to submit the Google doc URL. In this case, you need to make sure to share the document with your instructor's account, or they won't be able to access it. In the top right of the Google doc window, click Share, and enter your professor's email address to designate them as someone with access to the document.

If you don't take the extra step to share the URL correctly, your professor will be unable to access your document, and you may receive a late penalty. Also, note that you can designate each person you share with as a Viewer, Commenter, or Editor. Ask your professor what they require.
