OBJECTIVE: This exercise asks you to format a Word document and post this to Blackboard as
well as send that document to me as an attachment to an email. This will help you gain practice
using the upload feature in Blackboard as well as practice using our course email protocols.
IMPORTANT:
*This assignment needs to be submitted in TWO ways to receive credit:
ONE: Upload your response to the assignment on Blackboard.
TWO: Then send me an email, following email protocols covered in this lesson’s reading, with
your assignment attached.
WHY?
—We are making sure you can successfully submit your assignments to Blackboard.
—We are checking Blackboard’s new submission receipt feature. This feature sends you an
email stating that your assignment was successfully submitted; you should get this receipt from
Blackboard every time you upload an assignment.
—We are ensuring that you have read and understand the readings, know the course expectations
of professional email communication, have a working Mason email account, and know my email
address.
*You will be evaluated on your ability to comply with standard professional email proto-
cols, your tone, and on the accuracy of your response to the writing prompt.
Please be aware that you must master these email protocols in order to communicate with me.
After this week, I will not respond to emails that do not comply with protocols established in
class. In other words, you must use the proper format for subject lines, salutations, file naming
protocols, and closings in order for me to respond to your message.
Step #1: Create a Word document and save the file to your desktop as a Word (.doc or .docx)
document. Set it to double-space. Place your name, section number, date, and in the upper left-
hand corner. Do not add an extra double-space between paragraphs, between your identifying in-
formation and title, or between the title and your response to the prompt. Save your document
using the following file naming protocol: “LastNameEX1” (notice that there are no spaces in this
file name). Make sure you remember to periodically save your document.
Step #4: When you have written, edited, and proofread your paper, upload your submission on
Blackboard to the Exercise #1 assignment category as well as send it to me as an attachment to
an email message from your MASONLIVE email account. You must use your MASONLIVE
email account to send this message. If you send the message from any other account, I cannot ac-
cept it.
