Please
note:
o Because of e-mail viruses, Prof. Anderson does
not accept e-mail from unknown sources. Therefore, all e-mail messages must
include the subject CISA 305 and your full name typed in the
message, or the e-mail may be ignored. Example: CISA 305 Jill Jones.
o It’s impossible for Prof. Anderson to be
familiar with every e-mail software application on the market, so please
don’t ask for technical assistance.
6.
You must check your
e-mail account regularly throughout the course, I recommend checking
your email a minimum of four times each week. Official announcements will
be made by e-mail or on the News Forum page on the course web site at http://www.someprofs.org/moodle

All assignments must be typed, and you are responsible for saving
all assignments correctly. All work
will be submitted through the course website. It is your
responsibility to ensure that I can open the files you send. Your work must be compatible with
Microsoft Office 2003 applications.
The SCC computer lab has computers with Office 2003 available on
them for information about the computer lab schedule can be found by

Office applications, and best of all,
it’s FREE. You will have to make sure that you save the document you
