assignments with links to the texts. The body of the lesson page contains the
instructor's discussion of the texts. Below the lesson discussion you will

assignments for the next lesson. This is made available to you so that you can continue
your reading without interruption while you are waiting for your

Many of the sites have been suggested by students. We invite you to participate! If you know of sites that are not here but you think would be appropriate please. We are still working on improving the reference area. You may come across
broken links. It is also possible to navigate within this window back to the home page of TSM
Academy. If this happens you can back out of this loop by clicking one of the
other buttons at the left, such as the Lessons button. |

When you click on this button the standard email application for your
computer system will open in its own window. You can send your answers to lesson
assignments or ask questions and send them directly to TSM Academy. When you
send email to the address provided in the lesson pages you will receive an email
confirmation from TSM Academy, which lets you know that your lesson assignment
has been successfully received in the TSM Academy mail box. This
response usually takes only a few minutes. Do not try to respond to
this confirmation email as it is an auto-responder. On
each lesson page where the assignment questions are located there is also a link
that will open your email application with the "To" and
"Subject" lines already filled in.
There are a number of ways to
send your work. You
can attach it to your email using Word or Notepad, you can use a copy and paste method (Highlight
your text in Word or Notepad and copy it to the clipboard, then open your email
window and 'paste' it in.). You can also mail it in via postal mail to: TSM
