Submitting Your Galileo Letters

I've created a discussion board on Blackboard to post your papers for the Galileo game. To access it, click on the "Galileo Discussion" button on the left.

While you can draft your paper in Microsoft Word, you will need to copy-and-paste it into the Discussion Board. Since there are no defined pages on the discussion board, I have changed to 2-page requirement to 500 words and the 4-page requirement to 1000 words. If you need to upload pictures, illustrations or figures, do that in the separate "Graphics" folder on Blackboard.

Since these are supposed to look like "letters" and not academic papers, they should not have a bibliography. Instead, they should cite any quoted works in the text itself. You might write something like:

Galileo, in The Starry Messenger, described his observations of a multitude of new stars in the Milky Way. "We are freed from wordy disputes upon this subject, for the Galaxy is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters."

I will be using this Grading Rubric to grade the papers.
