How to submit assignments electronically

A few of you have been emailing me assignments, and while this as been great, I'm realizing that keeping track of these assignments is difficult, given the number of emails I am getting, so I'm setting up this process for submitting work. If you plan to submit an assignment via email (and I encourage you to do so, I ask you follow these guidelines:

  1. Submit a readable document (I can read all versions of word, open office, pages, excel, etc). If you write your stuff in something crazy like wordperfect 1.0, email beforehand to make sure I can read it. If I can't open the document, YOUR GRADE IS ZERO, AND WILL REMAIN THAT UNTIL YOU SUBMIT A READABLE ASSIGNMENT (AND YOU WILL SUFFER A LATE PENALTY).

  2. Follow the following convention for naming your document:
    "Period number Last Name First Initial Assignment title. " So Bob Smith, submitting his texting paper from 7th period would title his document: "7 Smith B Texting Letter" without the quotes. Do not name the assignment unrecognizable things like "texting paper" or "stupid physics assignment." (you might lose points for the second one).

  3. If you got an extension from me in advance, please copy and paste my response to your request into the body of your email to me.

  4. Follow the same convention for your subject line that you do for naming the document. "7 Smith B Texting Letter."

  5. Email your attachment, FROM YOUR WMS Account (or otherwise easily recognizable email, not laxgirl17@aol.com) to the following addresses (add these addresses to your address book):

    For 1st period: jburkWMS+1stper@gmail.com

    For 3rd period: jburkWMS+3rdper@gmail.com

    For 7th period jburkWMS+7thper@gmail.com



Thank you in advance for following this procedure. It will greatly simplify my record keeping, and will allow me to return assignments to you more quickly. AS a reward for submitting your assignments following this procedure, I will give +1 point bonus for all assignments submitted using these procedures (you can resubmit if you've already submitted). In the future, I might deduct points for submitted assignments that do not follow this procedure.
