General Guidelines

  How to Submit Assignments  

Read all assignments carefully.    Maximum credit lost for failing to use resources, which are the assignment pages and hints web pages.

Follow directions. Read hints provided completely and make sure you have not made errors that have been pointed out. If you have questions, ask in class or via email.

Use all resources meaning this site and the sites it points to such as the tutorials.  Visit the ALC, they have peer tutors qualified to help students taking CIS100.

Use the Help menu that comes with MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint.  Use the many tutorials suggested on this site.

Work submitted with your name is to be YOURS. Get help from others, but do your own work.  By submitting work with your name on it you claim that you understand it and can explain it.

Please do NOT put things in my office or in my faculty mail box or hand them to me in the halls.

Check and proof read your work. Have a fellow classmate proofread assignments (you'll both learn something.)

Obey correct English grammar rules (its/it's, spelling, underlining, quoting (") etc.)

College-level work is expected.
Spelling errors and improper English will result in loss of points.
Get help from the ALC, (2nd floor of library in Cranford, also in Elizabeth and Plainfield) if required.

Turn work in on time (or early.)
Work that is turned in early but that needs improvement, can be resubmitted for a better grade.
Late work loses 20% of its value each week that it is late.
All document work is to be Word Processed using Microsoft WORD.  If you have a different word processor such as MS Works, save you document in MS Word form (drop down on bottom of Save Dialog box).

Credit is lost for not following directions.
If you don't understand, ASK!

When you submit work on or before its date due, you may correct your mistakes and resubmit it to improve your grade.

Assignments are to be submitted on paper (due to the current high level of really vicious viruses that are transmitted via email attachments). 

If you are going to miss a class or you want some early feedback, assignments can also be submitted by:

1. uploading to your Briefcase and

2. sending an email to  with a subject that contains:

After the 7th week of the term email with an improper subject will be returned ungraded.

Do NOT send files as attachments.

Submit only 1 (one) assignment per email

Don't fall Behind!

Submit a maximum of 2 assignments per week

A good subject for all email is critical since determines whether the message will be opened and read or deleted. The subject is propagated into reply's and forward's.  An if the email is put in a folder, the subject is helps retrieve if (like the little tab that sticks up in paper folders).

ALL assignment should have

within  them.
