Copy/ paste this format instead of typing it.
Any document you submit to the instructor must be a word-processed document. It is not possible for the instructor to efficiently edit comments into Excel documents, scanned documents or documents submitted on paper or by fax. Tables and graphs from Excel and other programs can be copied and pasted into word-processed documents.
The only exception is tests, which are completed on paper and in your handwriting. Please summarize your understanding of this policy.
________________ **
Use Word to submit work completed. Insert other forms into word before sending.** ________
It is usually much more efficient and effective for the instructor to work with you through forms and your Access Page than face-to-face. The instructor enjoys working face-to-face with students, but it is simply not possible to accommodate the desire of a class full of asynchronous distance students for individual meetings, though situations do arise in which meetings are the most efficient way to overcome difficulties. For this reason the instructor's office hours are mostly conducted by responding to information received through forms, and face-to-face meetings are usually restricted to matters that have already been addressed to the fullest possible extent via electronic communication (e.g., access page and forms) and have proven impossible to resolve efficiently by this means.
This policy makes it possible for the instructor to respond fully to your submitted work and to do so in a timely manner.
Please explain this briefly in your own words.
It is better to communicate thru forms and the access page than by person. In person meetings will be accomplished when other means do not take care of the problem.

When you take a test you must submit the Test Taken Form (at the General Information page, just below the Submit Work Form) to alert the instructor to be on the lookout for your test. If a test has gone astray (rare but tests can be misrouted) we can more easily trace it if we know promptly that it's missing.
________________ **
Send test taken form after completing test to alert instructor to your completion.** ________
Zipped files are also cumbersome to deal with and the instructor does not accept them. Be sure files are sent in their original format. Note that some email programs (most notable AOL's) zip files without telling the user. You should either override this automatic process, if possible, or send files one at a time to ensure that they don't get Zipped. Please explain this policy briefly in your own words.
________________ **
Don't zip files or use AOL like programs that auto zip files.** ________
Save all communications from the instructor; you're responsible for doing so. You are also responsible for keeping track of what you have sent the instructor, who can better serve students if time isn't wasted rereading something you re-sent because you weren't sure you sent in the first place. Don't delete your records of sent or received items and if you're not sure whether you've sent something check your record of received items. Once your work appears at your Access site (explained when you get your access code), however, you may assume that it is safely stored in at least two places.
State this in your own words.
________________ **
Save a copy of everything you do in case it is needed later in at least 2 places.
This looks good. Let me know if you have any questions.
