SPRING 2007

All assignments in this online course are submitted as attached files to e-mail. When submitting your assignments, please follow these guidelines carefully:

 

Send your assignment as an attached file.

Do not embed in e-mail message!

Use this format for your e-mail message:

In the subject line type: course#/your last name/assignment#. For example, BA205/symes/assignment1 (exactly like that!).

In the message box: provide a brief description of the purpose of the message, note attachments, and file type (i.e., Word, Excel, Access, etc.).

Use this format for attached files:

For the filename type: your last name and assignment# with no space between. For example, symes1 (exactly like that!)

When submitting assignments with multiple exercises, if possible include all exercises in the same file and just use page breaks to separate them. If not, send separate attached files and append a, b, c, etc. to filename. For example, symes1a, symes1b, symes1c.

Important! Include your name, date and assignment number on the attached document (otherwise it will get disconnected from you when I print it!).

About software compatibility

The standard software applications used in my classes are:

  • Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint)

  • FrontPage 2003

  • PageMaker 7.0

  • Photoshop 7.0

  • Illustrator 10.0

If you are using Office 97, 2000, or XP, you should have no problem opening Office 2003 files (according to Microsoft). This is true for Word, Excel and PowerPoint only; it will not work for Access.

If you are using different software, or an older version of the same programs, we may have problems communicating. Generally speaking, documents created in older software versions can read by newer versions, but documents created in newer software versions cannot be read by older versions. If you are using an older version of Word (i.e., Word 95, Word 6, or older), or another word processing program, you need to make arrangements with me to find a common file format we can both read. (A good option is Rich Text Format, or RTF, which preserves most formatting features and is readable by most word processing programs.)
