ON SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS
Dr. Susan Carol Losh
|
I only
take HARD COPY ASSIGNMENTS.
Preferably
handed in at class.
Alas, I must start with the negatives:
I don't open email attachments, including
document or html files.
I don't open embedded links in email.
There have been too many problems with
computer viruses and hackers. This is especially true for University computers,
which have proven to be hotbeds of infection. I have had to do an entire
"wipe and reload" a couple of times on my main computer. Not fun.
PLEASE DO NOT SLIDE PAPERS UNDER MY DOOR
OR UNDER THE EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY & LEARNING SYSTEMS SUITE DOOR!
DO NOT slide papers under my office
door.They may or may not be placed on my desk--where I may not be able
to find them. No one who has ever seen my desk would ever do anything so
foolish. Similar problems occur with materials slid under the EPLS suite
door.
ONE MORE NOTE ON EMAIL: Widespread
viruses spread through email use subject lines such as "hi" "hello" "hi
there" "thanks" or "my test" or no subject heading at all. PLEASE USE
SOME OTHER SUBJECT LINE. I will delete without opening any emails
that have subject lines such as "hi" or "my assignment."
Here are some alternatives
if you absolutely cannot hand updates to me in person:
-
My office mailbox in 307 Stone Building
-
FAX to the Educational Psychology & Learning
Systems Office (850) 644-8776. Please be sure to put my name and EDP 5285
on the Cover Sheet and include the total number of pages
-
Mail (USE FIVE DAYS ADVANCE NOTICE!)
to Dr. Susan Carol Losh, Educational Psychology & Learning Systems,
FSU, Tallahassee, FL 32306-4453
-
Include as text in an email. PLEASE
DO NOT USE HTML, which my Eudora program can turn into unreadable source
code.
In all these alternatives, your
assignment MUST reach me by the stated due dates. Please be sure
to include your name!

During the semester, I may ask for a copy
of your work on disk.
For example, I typically post a copy of
your presentation to our course site. I try to have a copy of your final
paper too.
All disks are scanned with Norton or McAfee
Anti Virus software before I open them. I will let you know if your disk
is infected.
Sorry for the paranoia but I have been
sent worms, bugs, klezzes, slammers, blasters, mydooms, "re"s, sobers,
obscenities, eBay, Paypal, Sun Banks, CitiBank, etc. warnings and "reauthorization"
phishing attempts, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (trust me: you DON'T
want to know), and just about every common and uncommon virus around. If
you have heard of it, I almost certainly have been sent it.
Thank you kindly!
Susan
