Activity of Nov. 4, 2010

We will warm up by creating an Excel spreadsheet that will eventually calculate your pay for the week as you work for your desktop publishing company. You begin with a simplified version today and we'll extend it shortly. Call it Paycheck.xls and don't lose it.

Keep in mind the following due dates and complete these activities and projects on time:

    1. Lorem Ipsum instructions, yesterday

    2. Lorem Ipsum document, today

    3. Mail Merge, tomorrow

Write these in your CJs or other agenda (if you haven't added them to your Google tasks). Cross them off when you have finished. Cross them off again when you have evidence that they have been graded. If you have late work already, that should be noted.

Emails have been arriving that are hardly identifiable and very inconveniently composed for the recipient. Here are new guidelines:

    • The subject line must match the content. Do not recycle old subject lines that do not pertain to the current message.

    • Attach work for only one project at a time. Do not electronically staple documents together when they aren't part of the same project.

Email that does not satisfy these two guidelines will be rejected and the sender will lose points that have been allocated to the correct submission procedure.
