Most assignments will ask you to write a response, document, or essay. These can be done in Microsoft Word (or WordPad on Windows and TextEdit on Mac devices).
Once you’ve completed the document, save it in an easy-to-remember location. You can save it as a Word Document (.docx file) or a PDF Document (.pdf file), unless your instructor requires one or the other. We recommend submitting a PDF Document whenever the option is available. PDF Documents cannot be easily edited or modified and have a greater range of compatibility.
