• When you have finished writing your paper and would otherwise be ready to print it out and turn it in
 

* Save your finished document as an MS Word file.
***Note: Prof. Ausubel's computers cannot read .wps (Microsoft Works) files; users of Microsoft Works should save their work in .rtf or .doc format.

* Create a new e-mail addressed to prof.ausubel@chaffey.edu and cc'd to yourself.

* Use the subject line

[course section number] [your name]

So, for example, the student named Ivanna Goodgrade in English 450-66666 would use this subject line:

66666 Ivanna Goodgrade

* Select your entire text only paper from your word processing program, copy it, and then paste it into the body of the e-mail.

* Save your e-mail as a draft, close it, and then reopen it.

* Read through your e-mail carefully to make only these format changes as necessary:

Double space BETWEEN paragraphs and BETWEEN entries in your works cited list (very important!)

Indicate underlining for titles that should be underlined by inserting an underscore character before and after the title with no extra spaces, like this:  _Moby Dick_

Eliminate "computer cuss":  quotation marks and apostrophes frequently turn into bizarre characters, so words end up looking like this: ™?Let?°s go,°- he said.   Correct these changes manually in the body of the e-mail.
 

* Close the MS Word document and then in your e-mail program attach the MS Word file (no .wps file formats) to the e-mail.

Note that your paper should appear in the text of the e-mail message and should also be attached as an MS Word file (no .wps file formats).

* Send ONLY ONE COPY of your e-mail by the deadline stated on the assignment sheet.  If you have cc'd it to yourself, you will receive a copy so that you know it went through.  SAVE YOUR COPY in case the Chaffey server shunts your e-mail into the electronic twilight zone.

* Papers submitted electronically will receive electronic replies.
