Instructions–generally in the form of 3-5 minute videos–are in two major locations: “Course Overviews” and “Writing/Research.” In the latter, for example, you will find directions on how to post a pdf (and to post it in the correct category) and how to access instructor’s comments on your graded project.
In addition, of course, the “Tech How-To” page provides valuable instructions, including step-by-step directions for signing into the course website so that you can post projects and comments.
Because so much information and so many instructions must be posted on the website due to the nature of an online course and of a writing-intensive course, you should regularly double check and review what is posted.
If you have questions beyond the answers provided here, take advantage of the DKC (covered in the course syllabus).
FINALLY: 1) CHECK COURSE ANNOUNCEMENTS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. ONLY IN RARE INSTANCES WILL THE INSTRUCTOR E-MAIL STUDENTS ABOUT THE COURSE. 2) GRADES ARE POSTED ON CANVAS. (As columns for three grades a week will be listed BUT each student will be completing only two projects a week, the grade total/average is not of use. Ignore it.)
