Taskstream Directions, CURR 285 (Michael Beutner, instructor), Fall 2007

General Directions: Preparing Your “Signature Piece” Files 1/2

1. You need your login and password for your Taskstream account. Note: You MUST successfully submit your “signature piece” files for evaluation. This is absolutely required for getting a grade in this course.

2. Create a folder on your USB flash drive called CURR285-00-YourLastName-YourFirstName-TS-Fall-2007 • Replace “00” with your section number. • Replace YourLastName and YourFirstName with your own name.

3. Check the list of required files. (See next slide.)• Copy your edited finalized files to the new folder. Don’t add any other files

to this folder. So: no extra files, no previous versions. • The finalized required files are your “signature piece” files for this course.• Make sure your files do NOT have punctuation or special symbols (‘,”:!?.#) in

the file name. Just use letters, numbers, and hyphens.
