This page include instructions on how to create a Post on the OpenLab (you really should read the entire page, but if you want directions, scroll down)
Guidelines for Posting Homework
In this course you are required to write posts of 100-200 words plus occasionally submit images for Homework. In addition to the homework, you may post about events you would like to share and/or comment on fellow students’ posts. The homework will allow us to continue discussion beyond the classroom and to explore our collective ideas about art, history, and photography.
New Homework is posted intermittently. Generally, students will have 1 week to respond to Homework. To receive credit for homework, you must post here on the OpenLab. Try to draw connections between your ideas, the readings, and class lessons. The homework grade is equivalent to one letter grade (if you have an A average for your papers and exams but do not submit homework, you will receive a B for your final grade). No credit will be given if your homework post is plagiarized from other sources; and/or is too late (usually more than 10 weekdays).
To give you an idea of the length of a 200-word homework post entry, the top of this page to here is approx. 200 words.

How to Find the Latest Homework Topic:
Locate the header “Homework” and click on it. You will see all the Homework Topics that have been posted so far. Every time someone submits a homework post, the newest post will float to the top, so a quick way to find the latest topic is to go to “Homework.”
Online Decorum:
Consideration for the feelings of others is expected. People cannot see you smile and may not know when you are joking. Do not tell people they are wrong, but explain why you believe differently. Offer constructive criticism by directing your classmates to your source of information. Any use of profanity, insults that defame character, race, ethnicity, religion, etc. are inappropriate and will not be tolerated.
