E-Mail

Each student must have computer access and an e-mail account. Class homework can be sent via email but can also be submitted using the Angel courseware system, as explained in a later orientation link.

Please note: while free web-based email systems like "Hotmail" or "Yahoo Mail" can be convenient, they are generally not as effective as accounts issued by paid internet providers. Subsequently, students are generally more at risk for incoming and outgoing email problems.  Students are encouraged to save all their homework, as well as keep copies of email messages in their "sent mail" folders in the event homework does not transmit properly by the due date. If a student does not have a "sent mail" folder, he/she should send a copy of each homework submission to him- or herself.

When sending homework, questions or other communication via email during the quarter, please describe your message in the subject heading e.g. "Week 1 Search & Report" or "Question."

Students are encouraged to complete homework using MS Word if they have the software, and attaching the homework to the email or Angel homework page. NSCC computer labs are equipped with MS Word. Although creating attachments is not required, students will most certainly find opportunity to use this skill in the "real world." When attaching MS Word documents, please use the older  (1997-2003) Word version so named documents have the ".doc" rather than the ".docx" file extension on them.

Students accessing school computers will need a NetID account to do so. Information on setting up a new NetID account can be found online here:

For this activity, students will send an e-mail message to the instructor.

Google Mail (Gmail), or Hotmail, or Yahoo
