Part Two of the quiz is due 05 September. You should create a separate file for Part Two and save that second file in Rich Text Format as "part2.rtf" (without the quotation marks). You will submit Part Two as an attachment to an e-mail message. Part Two is worth two points; the score is based on completeness and on submitting the content as an e-mail attachment formatted in Rich Text Format.

When you have finished Part One of the quiz, save the file, print it, and submit it to me before you leave the orientation session on 08/26.

Part One of the quiz is due in class on 01 September 2007. Part Two is due 05 September 2007. The quiz is worth a total of four points.

Part One: Course Material/Syllabus
All of the information for this part of the quiz can be found on the course web site.

• List the type and number of formal projects in the class (hint: all assignments that include the word "Project").

• How many points are possible in the class, and what is the breakdown of points per assignment?

• How much time per week can you expect to spend online for this class? (Not including time spent doing regular class work.)

• What is the URL of the class web site?

• How does one locate the course description on the class web site, and what are the two main points of that description? (You don't need to summarize them.)

• What are the five basic writing goals for the class?

• What are the three "e-mail courtesies" that you should follow when sending an e-mail message to me or your classmates?

Part Two: Writing Exercise
Examine the following web sites, all of which address writing effective e-mail messages:

• http://www.thewritecontext.com/hints_email.htm
  (© The Write Context)
• http://www.hackman-adams.com/articles/netiquette.htm
  (© 2001-2003 Emory Hackman and Linda Adams)
• http://www.net-market.com/email.htm
  (© Charles Kessler and Associates)
• http://www.bspage.com/1netiq/Netiq.html
  (© Business Netiquette International)

Next, in two or three paragraphs summarize what information the four sites have in common and in what ways they differ. Then, use your own experience with writing and receiving e-mail messages to reflect on and respond to the information you found on those sites. For instance, consider what information you find valuable in those sites. What information surprised you? What information do you accept and what information makes you skeptical?

Remember, Part Two needs to be submitted as an attachment to an e-mail message and that file attachment must be formatted in Rich Text Format.
