    When i go to open the surprising intro on black board i get an error in my reader. i can’t read the examples and i was never clear on what we could use for sources. i’m quite confused. i need help

    Garrett replied on January 20th, 2010:

    Select the “Preview” option for those examples (hint: the A student did not submit this assignment).

    There are no restrictions on source for this assignment (however, I wouldn’t suggest using an encyclopedia or wiki as a source unless you want to look like a grade schooler).

    So a blog on the subject started by a guy who’s researched it would be ok?

    I don’t see this “preview” option anywhere. I’m becoming quite frustrated

    Garrett replied on January 20th, 2010:

    There is a drop down thing next to each item on the page. Click that and select “Preview”.

    I hate Blackboard too ;-)

    I was surprised to see you even using blackboard this semester, after the awful things you said about it in the fall.

    I can’t seem to pull up anything on black board now

    The examples gave me a good idea concerning what the assignment needs to be. Helped me to realize that it is not as hard as I initially thought. Which is really good!!!
