II. How do I get my papers to Prof. Danel Olson?

Be sure to write the essays in Microsoft word (in the latest version you can) and save them as rich text format documents (or the suffix, rtf). Otherwise, your files will come to me scrambled or in a program language or may not attach at all. To send the papers to me, go to the class homepage, click on its mail icon, then click on Compose Mail Message, then click on browse until Instructor comes up. Your letter is now addressed. Note that you must write something in the Subject box for the mail to be delivered.

Click on Browse to find your paper in either your 'a' or 'c' or 'd' drive. Then click Attach file (near the paper clip), check the little box, and then click on Done. Notice that your file attachment won't be visible in the message box as an attachment when you send to me. Press Preview before sending to see if your paper is really attached, and then press Send.

Always send your papers as attachments to me through the mail site on the class homepage, rather than sending to my North Harris office e-mail (danel.olson@nhmccd.edu). Otherwise, your urgent work gets mixed with the Spam that hits my office e-mail.

III. What are the essays' due dates?

All the due dates on posted on the Schedule at the class homepage. No late papers will be accepted, and I won't be continually sending reminders for when things are due, so please examine now the Schedule carefully and review it at least twice a week. Within three days of receiving your papers (as file attachments) through the mail icon on the class homepage, I'll reply that I got them. My comments and grading will take about two weeks and will be typed directly onto your file attachments and e-mailed back to you.

IV. How do I post to the bulletin board (or the Discussions)?

Click on the bulletin board pin icon on the homepage. Then click Compose Message or click on All to check your messages.

V. How do I send mail?

Click on the envelope pin icon on the homepage. Then click Compose Message or click on All to check your messages.

VI. How do I know if I've got new mail or bulletin board messages?

When you bring up the homepage, you'll see bright green, flashy brushstrokes next to either the postal letter icon or the bulletin board pin icon.

VIII. What do we do the first week of class?

Go to the CLASS WEBSITE below as soon as possible and practice by sending me an e-mail from the site itself with an attachment (the attachment can be any document in Word that was saved in rich text format). Attn. 1302 students: When you send me an e-mail from the class website, please tell me which research paper topic you're interested in (click on RESEARCH PAPER ICON at the site below to get suggested topics), note which story for the ANALYSIS PAPER ICON you will work on (from Kennedy’s _Literature_), and tell me which assigned short story from weeks 2-4 on the WEEKLY WORK icon you wish to write two bulletin board discussion questions on. Remember you must answer all the discussion questions students submit on the other stories that are assigned on the WEEKLY WORK.

Also send the class a hello through the bulletin board application at our website below.
