SECTION 1.6 - ASSIGNMENT
FOR MODULE 1
As discussed in the section Course Information, assignments may be forwarded as a package to ALCE by e-mail, fax or mail. If you choose to send your assignment by e-mail, you may do one of two things:
Type your assignment right into an e-mail message;
or
Do up your assignment in a word processing document
and attach to an e-mail message. The Adult Literacy and Continuing Education Department
uses the word processing package Microsoft Word. Therefore, if you use a
different word processing package (e.g., Word Perfect, Works), it is best to do
your assignment right in an e-mail message. Or, if you do still want to use your word
processing program, you will need to save your document as a "Rich Text Format"
file. This format makes your document more easily readable between two different programs.
