Using Word Processing to Create Assignment
Documents:
When completing assignments for any Professor Pammi course, please
make sure you have the correct software and that you follow these
guidelines.
-
Word Processing
Software.
When creating your assignments, be sure to use an up-to-date word
processing software program. Please use MS
Word XP or higher, preferably Word
2003. Starting Fall 2007, WVUP will be switching to MS Word
2007. You should be prepared to use the same software at that
time.
-
Please do NOT
use MS Works or Word Perfect, any version.
-
Please do NOT
type your assignment material directly into the body of an email
message.
-
Please do NOT
type your assignment material directly into the "box" in the
Assignment Window in eCampus.
-
Save the document
with a name
that includes your first and last name at the beginning of the file
name and add the name of the assignment at the end.
-
If there is a
template available for download from the Assignment Window,
follow the
Assignment Instructions to save, name, and upload it for
grading.
Each document
you submit will be saved on my hard drive throughout the
semester, so each must have a unique document name.
If you submit
every document with the same name (or with just the name of the
assignment), it will be saved over top of a previous document
(or someone else's document) and may not be graded or recorded
in the Vista grade book properly.
If your document is
a multi-paged one, please add a header to your document that
includes your name, page numbers (let the word processor number the
pages for you automatically) the name of the assignment, and the
date you are submitting it. Even though I rarely print your
documents, this will ensure that all pages have your name and the
important data on them, just in case!
Save and Backup.
Be sure to save the document on your flash drive and back it up on
your hard drive so that you will be able to get back to it later.
-
At times, the
Cyber-gods get out of whack and your assignment may not get
through as expected. Therefore, you may need to resend a
document. It's always a good idea to keep backup copies of
every document you submit at all times.
-
Save your
graded copies too! After I've graded your assignments, I
will resave the document and reattach it in the original
assignment window in eCampus.
-
You can expect
to see comments and suggestions for improving your paper
throughout the graded paper, so you'll want to open the returned
document to see your grade and evaluation.
-
Record your
scores on your schedule sheet and keep the files somewhere so
you can find them later.
