			INSTRUCTIONS

Here are some instructions about the form of the papers you are to
send to me. 1) The subject line must be filled in identifying the
message as an essay, revised essay, critique, or comment. If you need
immediate attention, put something like "HELP" or "URGENT" in the
subject line.  As you can imagine I receive a large number of
messages. The first thing I do is to move the messages into
directories where I keep all the assignments by type, and it is too
time-consuming for me to have to open each message to see what it is
before moving it. 2) If you have replaced your real name with some
clever alias, such as "007" or "Aphrodite," change it back to your
real name. For the same reason mentioned above, I do not have time to
open each message and try to figure out who you really are. If you
are using someone else's account, include your name in the subject
line.  3) If you have a signature file, do not use it when sending
assignments to me. It will disrupt some of the file manipulating
programs I will use on your assignments.  4) Do not send your
assignments as attachments to your messages or in any other form than
ASCII. If you write them on a PC wordprocessor, be sure to save them
as ASCII files before uploading them. Microsoft Word is particularly
troublesome in this regard. Be sure to save in "Text Only" if you use
Microsoft Word.  If you are using Wordperfect, save it as "ASCII DOS
TEXT." Windows Notepad saves automatically as a Text Only (.txt)
file, which is fine.

Do not indent to indicate paragraphs. Use the method you see here of
leaving a blank line between paragraphs and putting the first line
all the way to the left, even with the other lines.  Corrections I 
make to your assignments will appear in the following form 
<< INCONSISTENT TENSE FORMS >>

interlined in your original document.  At the end of the document,
you will find a grade. I use a point system:ten points for each 
assignment. Plagiarism will lead to a failing grade for the course.
