8. Saving files Save your work often (every 2-4 minutes) and especially after major changes. Do not click the ‘Save As’ button, this button is not the same as clicking ‘Save’ There are several places available students may save a file, be sure to save your work for this course in the correct folder. I will only look in the appropriate folder to locate your work for grading. Be sure to save the file with the correct name so that I may be able to determine what file to grade.
