Procedure for Submitting Paper Topic Requests
 last revised: 1/13/00

• Check the list and decide on your first three preferences for a passage to study.

• Verify that your choices are still possible by going to the PAPER ASSIGNMENTS page for your course and section. Those listings in red bold print have already been assigned and are no longer options.
• Click on  to send your paper topic request to me via e-mail. Make sure to include the following items in the e-mail:
• Very critical: in the Subject field list the appropriate course number and appropriate section number, as is listed in the schedule of classes: e.g.,  R101K, R102J, R304M, R305B, R305A2 G202etc. The Tues/Thurs sections for the fall semester are 8:00, R101J and 10:25, R101K.
• In the text window:
• List your 1st, 2nd, 3rd preferences (and heading if listed).
• List your name (and e-mail address if different from where the e-mail is sent)
• If you have difficulty getting the e-mail to work, an alternative is to send the request via fax at 704 434-5618. Note: sometimes the Microsoft Internet Explorer and older versions of other web browsers don't get along well with the mailto: structure set up in the above e-mail icon for automatically generating an e-mail reply. If that happens to you, the alternative e-mail procedure is to click on the new message icon inside the e-mail part of your web browser. The above listed information needs to be included. Additionally, the correct e-mail address to be typed in is cranford@shelby.net.

• This should be turned in immediately!

• The cut off point for getting your request submitted is the end of the second week of classes. Once the cut off time has passed, you will arbitrarily be assigned a passage.

• You assignment will be posted on this web site under the appropriate course listing. Once you have been given an assignment, you will receive a e-mail reply to the address you sent the e-mail from confirming your assignment.

• Assignments are posted daily around 5:00 pm until the final assignments are made at the end of the second week of classes in the regular terms; check after 5:00 pm to see whether your paper topic request submitted within the past 24 hours has been posted.
