Good practices when saving a document:
- include the Course, Assignment and your name (example: ENGL100-RhetoricalPrecis-JDoe)
- add a number at the end of the file name (example: ENGL100-RhetoricalPrecis-JDoe1, ENGL100-RhetoricalPrecis-JDoe2, ENGL100-RhetoricalPrecis-JDoe3, etc.)
- this means you can go back to a specific stage of your work if you make a mistake - pick the location where you want the document saved (example: Documents, Desktop, a specific folder on your MS One Drive, etc.)
- NOTE, if you are using the College's MS One Drive, your account will be deactivated once you are no longer a student and you won't have access to anything you have saved there.
