SL English Comp II help

[Baileybaby]

I am trying to sumbit a paper for a grade but when I cut and paste it into the box it changes the format of the paper. What am I doing wrong or is that normal? I don't want them to take points off because the format was wrong. I was able to send in the draft no problem.

Hey there... Read the instructions matey. It says specificly NOT to copy and paste your paper!!!

There is an upload button just below that text editor box

I have read the directions and to sumbit your final draft you are required to cut and paste the essay in a special box. The direction even go into detail on how to do it. My concern is when I follow the directions the format of my paper changes.

I'm taking SL's English Comp 1 and was having similar problems. The great folks here on the IC Forum came to my aid with the solution...

If the instructions are the same for both Comp 1 and Comp 2 - DO NOT copy and paste your essay into the box - it will NOT submit in the proper format! Use the "Browse My Computer" button to upload your properly formatted file. If you then see a statement that says "Do Not Attach" IGNORE it - just hit the submit button and your essay will be sent in exactly as it appears on your word processor.

Thanks SuZQ2, I ended up calling and they said it was a known problem and told me to continue to follow the directions they give for submitting. The format would not affect my grade. I guess we will see when I get it back.

I also called my SL Advisor (twice) and was told they had never seen this problem before and to just submit it via copy/paste. I said I wasn't comfortable submitting an assignment that wasn't formatted properly since proper formatting was part of my grade! I then heard back from others here on IC - followed their advice - Problem Solved.

Update on submitting papers, I had no grading issues by submitting the papers how it tells you to submit them. I know people have figured out other ways but I followed the cut and paste process and even though the format of the paper changed my grades came back great! 18-20 on every paper. So don't be afraid to follow the directions straighterline gives you.

I had the same issue. It seems they use two different ways for submitting papers for Comp 1 and Comp 2. In my opinion I feel Comp 1 was way easier.
