Assignment One-- The Email Assignment DUE Tuesday 7 September 2021 start of class (both email and paper copy)

This assignment is important because

1:--it allows me to build a discussion listserv so I can send email messages to the class

2-- it allows me to get to know you, your background, etc.

3-- it allows me to be able to get in touch with you in case of emergency.

The only difficulty of the assignment is whether or not your send me the email correctly as what you put in the subject line makes a difference! Your subject line should read according to the special email instruction (see link). This is done because I receive a large amount of email each day and I use folders to organize my incoming email. If you fail to use the correct subject heading your assignment will get placed into the dark black hole abyss folder and it will not be seen by me--and you will not receive credit!!!!!

Again note that you should use always use the proper subject line (ITMG 100 your section number) for any correspondence!

I also acknowledge that in order to receive the grade I desire I must obtain the exact point value or greater. I also understand that Dr. Rebman will not be able to round up because he is using a technical-based program to calculate grades.
